Question: The RV Park that was under con-struction at Port Hueneme has been idle formonths now. When will work start, and when willwe be able to use that beautiful new facility? Iasked before and was told there was a problemwith the contract.

Answer: Thank you for your inquiry and forgiving me a chance to address your concerns.The contractor who was working on the RV Parkat Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme,went out of business, leaving the project incom-plete. It took some time, but as of last week, thenew contract has been awarded, and we arejust waiting on the new contractor to submit thepaperwork necessary to get started.We expect that the needed work will take

approximately 120 days to complete, giving us

a nice, new RV Park in January or February.We appreciate everyone’s patience while we’veworked around this unfortunate delay.I also appreciate the great feedback you’ve all

provided through this Ask the Captain forum, myCO’s Suggestion Box online at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. We’vebeen able to clear up confusion, correct errorsand even discuss policy changes, all based onyour feedback.Oh, and by the way, a couple of weeks ago,

a submitter asked about extending hours at theNavy Exchange, and although we can’t extendthe hours year-round, the Exchange manager hasdecided to keep the NEX open until 8 p.m. for theholiday season, beginning Oct. 1. That’s greatnews!

When will the RV Park at NBVC Port Hueneme be finished?

The Naval Facilities Engineering andExpeditionaryWarfare Center (NAVFACEXWC) will be established in a Sept. 20ceremony, joining two longstandingNavalFacilities Engineering Command (NAV-FAC) specialty centers.The Naval Facilities Expeditionary Lo-

gisticsCenter (NAVFACELCor NFELC)and Naval Facilities Engineering ServiceCenter (NAVFACESC) are consolidatingto provide a single touchpoint responsiblefor all NAVFAC engineering and expedi-tionary specialty center functions underone command.The new commandwill be comprised of

more than 1,400men and women, provid-

ing specialized facilities engineering, tech-nology solutions and life-cyclemanagementof expeditionary equipment to the Navy,Marine Corps, federal agencies and othersupported commands.“The consolidation is intended to reduce

overhead costs to free up resources neededto sustain our nation’s force structure, cre-ate future combat capabilities and improveourmission support to our supported com-manders,” said Capt. Brant D. Pickrell,NAVFAC EXWC commanding officer.This organizational restructuring will

result in a number of benefits toNAVFAC,including estimated savings of $3 millionannually from fiscal year 2013 (FY13) to

FY17, enhancements to NAVFAC spe-cialty center governance and improvedbusiness line alignment.“The new command combines extraor-

dinary facilities engineering and technol-ogy transfer expertise with first-rate expe-ditionary logistics support to thewarfighter, bringing greater efficiencies tothis vital role in the NAVFAC enterprise.”explained Pickrell.The consolidation is part of NAVFAC’s

ongoing review of all its operations follow-ing the Secretary of Defense’s 2010 orderto all the military services to take a “hard,unsparing look” at how they are staffed,organized and operated.

Seabees from the Naval ConstructionTraining Center (NCTC) at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) Port Huenemehosted a facility tour last month for near-ly 30 distinguished guests from throughoutthe county.The tour is part of a series of “Friends

of NBVC” tours organized by base com-mand for local community, government,law enforcement and school leaders aimedat familiarizing visitors with NBVC’s mis-

sion and facility capabilities.TheNCTC tour started off with a brief-

ing from Cmdr. Scott Loeschke, com-manding officer of NCTC Port Huen-eme.“We build Seabees,”Loeschke said. “We

take that really to heart.”The school also trains Air Force stu-

dents.About 100 active duty Navy and Air

Force members staff NCTC, training ap-proximately 1,300 Seabees a year in basicand journeyman skills. A new basic course

starts almost weekly with 12 to 24 stu-dents.The tour began with an in-depth look

at the constructionmechanic rate training.Air Force trainees huddled around a die-sel engine in the first room, and full-sizedpickup truck bodies filled another, prompt-ing a visitor to lean over and ask a fellowtour group member whether the Seabeeslearned anything other than mechanicskills at Port Hueneme.

In a ceremony steeped in 119 years of Navy tradition and capped by a flyover of an E-2C Hawkeye, 56 Sailors from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) took part in a pinning ceremony Friday, Sept. 14, that gave them the rank of chief petty officer — “the backbone of the Navy.”

In addition, two Air Force technical ser-geants were promoted to master sergeants during the ceremony.

All over the world — on aircraft carriers and on guided-missile cruisers, at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti and in the Office of Naval Intelligence — similar pinning ceremonies took place, with thousands be-ing promoted that day after undergoing six weeks of rigorous training.

Several hundred people attended the ceremony at the NBVC Port Hueneme pa-rade grounds, including a grandmother in her 80s who flew in from Hawaii and a couple who secretly flew in from Chicago to surprise their youngest son.

Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-ficer of NBVC, spoke as the ceremony host and congratulated the soon-to-be chiefs, whose ranks, he said, are the experts of the Navy and the ones who get things done.

“They simply make it happen,” he said.The guest speaker, Rear Adm. Paul Sohl,

the new commanding officer of Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, opened his remarks with a moment of silence for the four Americans — including two former Navy SEALs — killed a few days earlier in Libya.

In his speech, he offered four suggestions for the new chiefs: Set the tone, know your Sailors, be prepared and lead by example.

“The view is different from out in front,” he told them.

Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Matthew Flood explained to the audience the symbolism of the fouled anchor, the emblem of the rate of chief petty officer that bears the initials USN. While most think of USN as “United States Navy,” chiefs, he said, think of the “U” as meaning unity, the “S” as meaning service and the “N” as meaning navigation.

Then, following longstanding tradition, the chiefs select were pinned by those they had chosen for the honor — sometimes a son or daughter, sometimes a spouse, some-times a close friend.

Chief Builder Lorin Asada chose his grandmother, Joy Teramoto, who had flown in from Hawaii.

Chief Construction Mechanic Tim Plum-mer was shocked when the master of cer-emonies, Master Chief Utilitiesman Jamye

Rainwater, announced that Plummer’s par-ents, Jerry and Karen Parker of Chicago, would be doing the honors. He had no idea

they’d be at the ceremony.“He said on the phone he wanted us to

come, but we were already planning a trip out in December,” Jerry Parker explained later. “Then his wife called and said he’d told her several more times that he wanted us here, and after that, we decided we’d get out here one way or another.”

After the 58 had been pinned and the Sailors officially greeted as “Chief” by NBVC Command Master Chief Thomas Cyr, Chief Aviation Support Equipment Technician Keith Combs read “The Chief Petty Officer’s Creed,” which stresses the many responsibilities and privileges that go with the rank.

“‘Ask the Chief’ is a household phrase in and out of the Navy,” he read.

“You are now the chief.”

It’s no secret that school budgets aregetting hit hard and that many cuts havebeen and will continue to be made. Asparents, if there were an easy way toensure additional funding would comeinto your child’s school, you all wouldbe willing to take part, right?Every fall, certain school districts will

send home Federal Survey Cards. InVentura County, the survey cards aresent home with students in the OceanView School District, Hueneme Ele-mentary School District and PleasantValley School District.These cards are completed by the par-

ents, returned to school and counted.Congress grants additional funding toschool districts based on the numberof valid and completed cards received.This funding can go toward variousprograms, services and equipment theschool may need.The cards come from Impact Aid.

This program is designed to directlyreimburse public school districts for theloss of traditional revenue sources dueto parents living or working on tax-ex-

empt federal property. Since the prop-erty the parents live or work on is nottaxed, the local schools are not receiv-ing that funding they would otherwiseget.Additionally, the Soldiers and Sailors

Civil Relief Act exempts military per-sonnel from paying certain personalproperty taxes and state income taxes.Again, this means less revenue for localschools.Does this mean that schools with

military children get extra money for

educating these children? No, it simplymeans they get reimbursed for fundingthey’re not getting from federal andstate tax funds.It is important that parents complete

and return the forms. Districts oftenreport that they don’t receive all of theFederal Survey Cards, which results ina loss of vital revenue. The school dis-tricts’ Impact Aid disbursement is cal-culated by the number of federally con-nected students. That includes studentswho have a parent in the U.S. military,are Native American, live on federalproperty or have a parent who workson federal property.In addition to regular Basic Support

payments, some school districts areeligible for additional funding throughHeavily Impacted District Payments. Adistrict is eligible for these payments ifit is located on a military installationor has a combination of high enroll-ment of federally connected students,high tax rates and low per-pupil reve-nues.Based on the number of Department

of Defense or federally connected stu-dents, additional grants are sometimesavailable for school districts. Lastschool year, Ocean View School Districtand Hueneme Elementary School Dis-trict were awarded grants. Both schooldistricts used the grants to add to theirclassroom technology. These grantswould not have been available to theseschool districts had parents not com-pleted their survey cards.The Federal Survey Card takes very

little time to complete. The informationwill not be used for any reason otherthan Impact Aid. For the gain that theschools will receive, every parent cantake a few minutes to complete thecards.In the current school funding climate,

every dollar and every cent count.Therefore, every Federal Survey Cardcounts as well.

— For any K-12 education-related questions,please contact the NBVC School LiaisonOfficer at 805-989-5211 or email [email protected].

The time has come to write my last ar-ticle for The Lighthouse. I am leavingNaval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 40 — along with everyone else,as we are being decommissioned. As aresult, I would like to use this article as anopportunity to say farewell to those withwhom I have served over the last threeyears.NMCB 40wasmy first command in the

Navy, and it has been a wonderful intro-duction. Why?First are the great examples of leader-

ship.Leadership is an interesting thing, be-

cause although there is rank, it is not rankthat makes a leader. Leadership is ulti-mately the ability to influence people to-ward mission accomplishment as well asoverall excellence. It is based on a credibil-ity that has been earned through demon-strating competency and character. Andmake no mistake about it, competency isnot enough. People ultimately do not fol-low those they do not trust, which is whycharacter and integrity are so essential togreat leadership.Before leaving chaplaincy school, one

of our instructors emphasized the impor-tance of trustworthiness among leadershipby challenging us with this question: “Ifyou lost rank for a day, would people stillfollow you?” If the answer is no, he said,there is likely a competency deficit (theydon’t think you knowwhat you are doing)or a character deficit (they don’t trustyou). Admittedly, this is a very high stan-dard, but I highlight it because I haveknown some leaders, both above and be-low me in rank, whom I would follow ifwe all lost rank for a day. I want to thankthose leaders. I will take your exampleswith me and build off them in the fu-ture.

Second are some incredible examples ofperseverance.Only those whose families have been

torn apart by deployments know the truecost of deployments. It is wonderful tocome back together, but it is not easy.Spouses have changed, roles have changed,children have grown, emotional distanceoccupies space in the relationship whereit previously did not, and sometimes therehas been a lack of faithfulness to one de-gree or another. These are very real anddifficult obstacles that are not uncommonto families that must deal with deploy-ments. Yet time and again, I have watchedcouples facing these challenges (andmore!)rebuild their relationships to a place thatin many cases is actually better than what

they had before.A marriage book I recently read stated

that most couples who consider divorcebut decide against it will, within five years,get to a place where they are both veryglad they decided to stay together. Formost couples, it happens much soonerthan five years.It has been my privilege to encourage

couples to persevere in their relationshipand get their families back to a fun andstable place. I have been truly blessed tosee this perseverance up close and per-sonal in the lives of the families in 40. Itis also necessary to give a lot of credit tothe Fleet & Family Support Center, whoseskilled counselors have taken incrediblecare of our troops— and of me! Thanks,FFSC!Third are the incredible friendships.Although 40 is coming to an end, the

friendships I have made throughout thiscommand will remain intact for manyyears to come.Those in a battalion know that you get

to know people best when you are sweat-ing to death on a Field Training Exercise,or freezing to death in Afghanistan, orhunkering down for a typhoon projectedto hit Okinawa or a detachment site some-where. The many shared and sometimesintense experiences have created deepbonds that will last the test of time, despitevery diverse backgrounds.It has been a rich experience to get to

know themen andwomenwho havemadeup NMCB 40 for the last three years. Iwant to say thank you for richly blessingmy life through your leadership (evenmany of you junior troops!), through yourexamples of perseverance and through thefriendships you have offered. My prayeris for your continued success. Thank you,and God bless.

“Those who can, do. Those who can domore, volunteer.” — Author unknown

Since its beginning in 1904, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)has relied on volunteers to achieve itsgoal of helping Sailors andMarines meetunforeseen financial emergencies andmanage their resources.In fact, since it was founded, NMCRS

has seen its volunteer roster expand from19 to more than 3,500, both ashore andafloat — a jump reflecting the increaseddemand for the Society’s services.Who can volunteer with NMCRS? The

Society’s team of volunteers includes ac-tive duty and retired military personnel,spouses and civilians who have at leastone common goal in mind: helping ourmilitary.

If you think volunteering for NMCRSinvolves only stuffing envelopes and an-swering phones, you couldn’t be moremistaken! The Society provides oppor-tunities in management training, super-visory experience, office experience, com-puter skills, financial casework andmarketing— all while serving themilitarycommunity. Volunteers are provided withthe tools and training to do a job thatfulfills their desire to serve by helpingothers.NMCRS coordinates its mission with

the volunteer’s skill set so the volunteersreach their own goals, whether it’s build-ing another skill for their résumé, gainingthe confidence needed for a future jobinterview, doing something of value ormaking a difference in the lives of ourSailors and Marines.Volunteering is emotionally fulfilling

in a way that very few jobs are. The So-ciety has adopted the notion of workingto live. I often wonder if I would enjoy

my volunteer endeavors as much if I ac-tually got paid to do them. For me, it hasalways been about what I give and notwhat I receive.So why should you volunteer? Megan

Stiles, chair of volunteers for theNMCRSat Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC),says it best:“Volunteering for NMCRS is immea-

surably rewarding.“Personally, knowing you helped con-

tribute to the welfare, values and dignityof an individual or family by empoweringthem to become financially self-sufficientthrough education and budget counselingis extremely gratifying.“Professionally, you can choose to be

challenged by adopting a new educa-tional or career skill set or sharpeningalready-existing ones. And, as at the heartof every community, new relationshipsand understandings are forged, while ex-isting ones are strengthened.“Each volunteer seeks out NMCRS for

their own reason, but encouraging themto stay is the meaningful and positiveimpact volunteering has on their lives andthe lives of others.”

Volunteers are backbone of Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society

Individuals interested in finding outmore about volunteer opportunities atthe Navy-Marine Corps Relief Societyat Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme, are invited to an open houseand chili tasting Friday, Oct. 26, from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. Meet volunteers and votefor your favorite chili made by NMCRSvolunteers.

Ramona Pagel knows that ifTitle IX hadn’t become law 40years ago, she would not havebeen spending Aug. 28 talkingabout being a four-time Olym-pian.The manager of the Bee-Fit

Health andWellness Center atNaval Base Ventura County(NBVC) PortHuenemewas theguest speaker for Women’sEquality Day, which was cele-brated with a luncheon at theBardMansion presented by theNBVC Federal Women’s Pro-gram and the Southern Cali-fornia Gold Coast FederallyEmployed Women.Pagel was in sixth gradewhen

PresidentRichardNixon signedTitle IX, which outlawed sex-ual discrimination in any edu-cational program or activityreceiving federal money. Thatmeant girls and women had tohave equal access to publicschool sports programs offeredto boys and men.At the time, Title IX meant

nothing Pagel, who describedherself as a shy little girl whowas short on confidence but bigon energy. She loved to run andjump hurdles — and she usu-ally beat out the boys in hergym class.But when she got to high

school and found out there wasa boys track team but no girlstrack team, she didn’t thinkthat was fair. Oblivious to TitleIX, she and some friendsmarched in to speak withschool officials, and it wasn’tlong before the school had agirls track team and a femalecoach.“Can you see Title IX in the

background?” she asks today.Girls track opened new

worlds for the athletic teenager.With practice — “Thank God

they didn’t have film backthen,” she says with a laugh— shemet a challenge to throwa 10-pound shot 25 feet, learn-ing afterwards that girls weresupposed to throw only an 8-pound shot.“I had fun being part of a

team,” she says. “Gradually,this shy little girl started to gainsome confidence.”In her sophomore year, she

was voted Most Improved

Player in track and field, butshe still hadn’t tried the dis-cus.“The school thought it was

too dangerous,” she says.By her senior year, that had

changed, and Pagel became, asshe describes it, “pretty profi-cient” at the sport.She attended Long Beach

State and made the All-Amer-ican team in shot put, but shefell short of making the 1980

Olympics. She would go on tocompete in the 1984, 1988,1992 and 1996 Olympics, andshe set the American record inshot put in 1988 — a recordthat still holds to this day.Title IX didn’t fix everything,

Pagel says, and her interna-tional travels have made herrealize how some countries aremiles ahead of the UnitedStates in this area. She remem-bers going to a banquet inCzechoslovakia where a femaleshot putter was being hon-ored.“Shewas revered in her coun-

try,” Pagel recalls. “That af-fected me as to how we viewwomen and what women do.”There are still salary discrep-

ancies in the coaching ranks,and only 18.6 percent of col-lege athletic directors are wom-en.Some blame Title IX for col-

leges having to dropmen’s pro-grams due to lack of funds —money, they say, that would beavailable if women’s programsweren’t offered.And there’s still ignorance.

Less than a decade ago Pagelwas asked to leave a gym be-cause she was a woman. Sheleft — and she still cringes atthe memory.“We still fight discrimina-

tion,” she says, “and we stilldeal with how we react to it.”But the benefits of Title IX

continue to be reaped — ingirls’ participation in sports, ingirls’ athletic scholarships and,this year, in Olympic medals.For the first time, American

women brought home moremedals— includingGoldMed-als — than the men did fromthe Summer Olympic Gamesin London.Pagel believes that shows

what can happen when oppor-tunity presents itself.“We need to look at the spir-

it of the law and make sure wehave the opportunity for all,regardless if male or female,”she says. “But sometimes wehave to forge our own way andmake the opportunity.”

Four-time Olympian discusses Title IX


Four-time Olympian Ramona Pagel, now the manager of the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness Center at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme, discusses the impact of Title IX during an Aug. 28luncheon at the Bard Mansion to commemorate Women’s EqualityDay.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 40 said goodbyeto their command in an official decom-missioning ceremonyWednesday, Sept. 12,at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)Port Hueneme.NMCBs 3, 4 and 5, the 31st Seabee

Readiness Group (31st SRG) and Under-water Construction Team 2marched ontothe parade ground in formation in frontof a throng of guests that included priorNMCB 40 commanding officers, formermembers of the battalion — includingfour men who were at the 1966 commis-sioning— local military and civilian lead-ers, friends and family members.If anyone who came to the ceremony

was under the impression they were sayinggoodbye and buryingNMCB40, they hadanother thing coming.“I got some great advice when we were

planning today’s ceremony from one ofmy senior chiefs,” said Cmdr. TimothyDeWitt, NMCB40’s current and last com-manding officer. “He said, ‘Sir, pleasedon’t make this a eulogy.’ And I thoughtthat was great advice. Today is a celebra-tion. We will always be Forever 40.”DeWitt talked about how decommis-

sioning a battalion is a lot different thandecommissioning a ship.“It’s sad to see a ship be decommis-

sioned because after the ceremony a shipis never seen again,” saidDeWitt, whowillbecome the chief staff officer for the 31stSRG. “For us, all of the equipment is

given to other units, and we expect for her(NMCB40) to return again somedaywhenher country needs her. It all comes downto the number 40 — nothing left torust.”

The commanding officer’s comments about expectingthe unit to return again make sense considering NMCB40 has now been commissioned twice.

NMCB 40 “stood up” in October 1942 in support ofU.S. efforts in World War II. In 1945, when the war wasover, NMCB 40 was decommissioned. The disestablish-ment lasted formore than 20 years until the unit was com-missioned once again Feb. 1, 1966, to supportU.S. effortsin Vietnam.Later, NMCB 40 served in Operations Desert Shield

andDesert Storm (SaudiArabia),OperationRestoreHope(Somalia), Operation Joint Endeavor (Bosnia-Herzegov-ina), and Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Free-dom (Iraq and Afghanistan).From humanitarian relief efforts following the Indone-

sian tsunami andHurricaneKatrina’s devastation inNewOrleans in 2005 to supporting the warfighter in nearlyevery major conflict since World War II, NMCB 40 andthe Seabees who carried the command colors have con-tributed to the proud heritage and success of the Navy.The decommissioning of battalions — in this case,

NMCB 40 and its sister battalion NMCB 7 a week ear-lier in Gulfport, Miss. — is a familiar scenario at the endof any U.S. war or conflict.“The decommissioning of units and decrease of Seabees

is a part of our nation’s progression followingmajor con-flicts,”saidCapt.DeanTufts, commander of the 31st SRG.“DuringWorldWar II,we hadmore than 250,000 Seabees.That number decreased 98 percent to 5,000 after the war.During Vietnam, the number rose again to 26,000, onlyto decrease after the conflict was over. Even during Iraqand Afghanistan our numbers surged to 17,000 and nowhere we are today with the decommissioning of NMCB40.”Guest speaker Rear Adm. Christopher Mossey, who

serves as the Chief of Civil Engineers and Commander,Naval Facilities Engineering Command, said that whiledecommissionings are not rare in the Navy, this wasn’tsomething he was looking forward to.“Thismoment is truly bittersweet,” saidMossey, who is

recognized as the King Bee. “This happens frequently inourNavy. In amonth, the aircraft carrier USSEnterprise

will return from theGulf and be decommissioned after 50years of service. It’s not about the platform — it’s aboutthe people.“To all of us, NMCB 40 represents the bonds we have

made; friends you’ll have commitments with for the restof your life. NMCB 40 will always be with us because theSeabeeswho leave this unit todaywill take their experienceand knowledge into other battalions.”Mossey further explained thatNMCB40would live on

through the projects they’ve completed around the worldand the people and communities they’ve helped by build-ing clinics, schools, water wells and other quality-of-lifeimprovements.“Our country will continue to need Seabees as we con-

tinue to foster and sustain relationships with our allies toimprove cooperative security,”saidMossey,who explainedthat the Seabees’missions directly support the goals of theChief of Naval Operations. “Congratulations and thankyou to NMCB 40 for a job well done.”The Seabees who worked hard to earn NMCB 40 both

the Battle “E” and Peltier Awards for Best Seabee Bat-talion both on the West Coast and Navywide said theywill miss the battalion.“I’ve enjoyed my time in the 40 a lot,” said Equipment

Operator ConstructionmanDillon Francis, who is taking

his experience toNMCB4. “I gained rankhere and Imadea lot of friends. It’s nice to see a lot of my friends comingwithme, but it’s tough to see a lot of people go someplaceelse.”The emotional conclusion to the ceremony came when

DeWitt dismissed the men and women of NMCB 40 forthe final time. The battalion gave the traditional, “Aye,Aye, Sir” response, performed an about face and filed offthe grinder for the last time — until they are neededagain.

Cmdr. Jeffrey Kilian, started the morningby congratulating 40 on a successful de-ployment and extending an opportunityfor the newmembers of NMCB 4 to workhard and as a team and gain valuable ex-perience.Construction Electrician 1st Class Dan-

ny Buccat attended Family PT and break-fast with his two sons.“My kids loved it,”he said. “They loved

playing on the fitness equipment and jump-ing over the hurdles.”Morning PT is normally led by compa-

nies, but this PTwas different, with spous-es and children involved. Fitness instruc-tors from the Bee-Fit Health andWellnessCenter at Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Port Hueneme directed the train-ing, focusing on group activities that pro-moted both strength and cardio training.After PT, families had a chance to social-

ize over a buffet breakfast. DJ’s CaliforniaCatering provided a hearty breakfast ofeggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and break-fast burritos.Several organizations set up booths to

educate Seabees and their families on op-portunities and services, including theAmerican Red Cross, FOCUS, the Coali-tion of Sailors Against Destructive Deci-sions (CSADD), Navy-Marine Corps

Relief Society (NMCRS), Fleet & FamilySupport Center (FFSC), embeddedMen-tal Health Program (eMHP) and the com-mand’s Family Readiness Group andOm-budsmen.“This successful event gave families a

“What’s 9/11?”At 7 years old, Anna-Marie

Miller doesn’t remember Sept. 11,2001.But as she stood on a corner

across from Building 1 at NavalBase Ventura County (NBVC)Point Mugu Sunday, Sept. 16,watching hundreds of motorcy-clists ride by, she kept seeing“9/11”among theAmerican flagsand hearing people talk aboutit.“Honey, it’s the day terrorists

attacked our country,” explainedher mom, Krystle Sauermilch,whose husband is Aviation Struc-tural Mechanic 1st Class DanielSauermilch of Fleet LogisticsSupport Squadron (VR) 55.Making sure everyone remem-

bers that— and reminding every-one of the lives lost and of theheroism and unity shown on thatday and in the 11 years since— iswhy NBVC hosted the 9/11 me-

morial celebration.The annual event serves as a

kickoff for the Ride to the Flags,a 42.5-mile motorcycle ride toPepperdineUniversity inMalibu,where 2,977 flags are displayed,one for each innocent life lost inthe attacks.This year, 850motorcycles took

part.The base event was a mixture

of solemn remembrance — awreath-laying, the playing oftaps, a flyover— and a few hoursof fun on a warm, late-summerday. Motorcyclists who hadn’tseen each other since last year’sevent swapped stories, and people

danced to a country-westernband, then a rock band.“This is a uniquely American

event,” said Capt. Larry Vasquez,commanding officer of the base.“Motorcycles andmusic— that’s

the sound of freedom.”Actor Rob Lowe helped kick

off the festivities, and there wereseveral celebrity sightings amongthe motorcyclists, most notably

attacks, he learned he had been on aflight with the terrorists – a dry run.“That showed me how our lives could

change in an instant,” he said, and itfilled him with even more gratitude.Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg, an

Army Ranger who was injured by animprovised explosive device nearlythree years ago, was helped onto thestage by several newly pinned chiefpetty officers and expressed his appre-ciation to the White Heart Foundation,which organizes the Ride to the Flagsand named Remsburg this year’s ben-eficiary.The audience responded, with shouts

of “Cory! Cory! Cory!” filling the air.Vasquez told the crowd that he was

“incredibly moved” by how many peo-ple were in attendance. He said it senta strong message to those who woulddo the country more harm: “You didnot shatter our will, our way of life or

our confidence.”To the crowd, he said, “Get on your

motorcycles and show the resolve ofthis great nation!”And after a benediction and a quick

ride briefing, that’s exactly what hap-pened.

Habitat for Humanity recentlygave 19 Seabees from Naval Mo-bile Construction Battalion 40 theopportunity to give back to thecommunity and share their con-struction knowledge with volun-teers from Bank of America byputting the finishing touches ontwo donated houses in Oxnard.Leveling the yard, hanging

doors, painting the garage and as-sembling countertops were just afew of the tasks given to the vol-unteers for their eight-hour serviceAug. 30.On top of their usual set of

skills, Seabees were able to gain

insight from other volunteers andsee other angles of performingthat are not taught within theusual Seabee regulations.“Habitat for Humanity is a pro-

gram designed to refurbish orcompletely build homes from thefoundation up,” said Steelworker1st Class Danny Toguchi, Seabeeproject supervisor. “It provides abetter life for a less fortunate fam-ily who are deserving and worthyof such generosity.”Toguchi called the project a

“tremendous opportunity” to giveback to the community.“Helping teach and enhance

vocational skills to others whohave never touched, seen or uti-lized a certain type of tool ispriceless,” said Toguchi. “Beingable to work with everyone from‘Fighting 40’ one last time withbattalion camaraderie on the job-site is something I wouldn’t tradefor anything.”NMCB 40 was decommissioned

Navy Operational Support Center(NOSC) Point Mugu held a change ofcommand and retirement ceremony Aug.29 that gave the new commanding officerthe dual role of commanding this reservecenter and NOSC Port Hueneme untilthey merge next month.Capt. Ronald Oswald, commanding of-

ficer of NOSC Port Hueneme, relievedCmdr. Rodney Woodward of commandat Point Mugu and will now lead bothNOSCs until NOSC Ventura County iscreated Oct. 1.Woodward is retiring after a 26-year

Navy career.“As the staffs from both NOSCs are

brought together, greater experience, depthand capacity will now be available to sup-port the combined reserve units,” saidOswald.The merger has been planned for some

time. Events such as the annual Deploy-ment Readiness Training and Family Rec-ognition Day have been planned and ex-ecuted by both NOSCs as one team.“We have been working close together

for years,” said Oswald. “I believe that dueto Cmdr. Woodward’s leadership and theeffort of the Point Mugu team, this con-solidation will be the culmination of twogreat families who share common ethos,values and pursuit of excellence.”NOSC Port Hueneme won both the

Large andOverall NOSCof theYear 2011for the Southwest Region.That same year,NOSCPointMuguwon

the Small NOSC of the Year Award for

the Southwest Region and did so whileperforming with reduced staff. The execu-tive officer, senior enlisted leader andmany key first class positions have notbeen filled for some time, leaving the re-maining Sailors with a heavier workloadeach day.“This is a team that continued a relent-

less pursuit of the countless requirementsand did sowith extraordinary results,”saidOswald.During Woodward’s three-year tenure,

he and his team mobilized close to 100Reservists and helped stand up the firstreserve Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)squadron.Capt. Russell Allen, deputy command-

er, NavyRegion Southwest, Reserve Com-ponent Command, was the guest speakerat the change of command ceremony andtalked about the tradition and history sur-rounding NOSC Point Mugu, which wasonce Naval Air Reserve Point Mugu.“The NAR dates back to the days of

sail,” said Allen, “way before any of ushere today were in uniform.”NOSC Port Hueneme will inherit about

200 Reservists in 12 different units thatprovide security forces, manage cargo han-dling battalions, fly unmanned aerial ve-hicles and carry out other duties vital tothe nation’s defense. These units rely ontheir NOSC for administration and de-ployment readiness functions.The new NOSC Ventura County will

combine the 12 PointMugu units with the30 Port Hueneme units and have 1,200billets with 1,000 boots on ground Sail-ors.

About 40 Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 4 had a uniqueopportunity this summer to give backto the community and in the process help

veterans.The Seabees set out to build a tent city

to support homeless veterans duringStand Down, an annual event in Ven-tura County since 1993.This July event provides clothing, hy-

giene products, haircuts and even im-munization shots to homeless veterans.Everything is donated, and everyonewho supports this event is a volunteer.

“The experience was empowering tohelp those that have given so much inthe past to help them now in their timeof need,” said Construction MechanicConstructionman Christopher Long.

Before setting up all the tents, tablesand chairs, the Seabees graded the areato even out the tent sites.“Even though it was a lot of work set-

ting up tents, tables and chairs, it was

fun knowing we were helping the veter-ans,” said Utilitiesman ConstructionmanGeorge Paul.It took about three days to get the area

graded and the tent city prepared sotents could be set up for the weekendevent.In the end, several hundred attended

and the Stand Down was declared a suc-cess.

NMCB 4 helps homeless vets at Ventura Stand Down


A former stuntman who hasbroken more than 20 bones dur-ing his career joined three of theNavy’s wounded warriors Friday,Sept. 14, in a chat with youngSailors about overcoming adver-sity.Taking the stage at the Need-

ham Theater at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-neme, the fourmen shared storiesabout not giving up, about stay-ing positive and about findingthe will to walk a differentpath.Construction Mechanic 1st

Class Jason Young of the NavalConstruction Training Center(NCTC) said their lessonsweren’tlost on the audience, much ofwhich was made up of NCTCstudents.“The kids got to see something

positive,” he said. “They learnednot to let something crappy hap-pening to you beat you down,how not to sulk and be depressedwith how life turns out.”The forum was arranged by

Capt. David Sasek, chief staffofficer of NBVC, in conjunctionwith a Wounded Warrior Train-ing Camp taking place that weekon base and the Wounded War-rior Half-Marathon the nextday.His childhood friend, Kristin

Best, hosts “American Dreamwith Kristin Best,” an inspira-tional radio talk show airing onthe American Forces Network.Best moderated the forum andarranged for the visit by Jack

Gill, now a stunt coordinatorbecause, as he put it, “I can’t hitthe ground anymore.”Two of the wounded warriors,

retired Hospital Corpsman 2ndClass Joe Derbak and retiredElectrician’s Mate 2nd ClassJoshua Rosenberg, were on baseattending the training camp. Thethird, retired Construction Elec-trician 3rd Class Ben Host, waswounded in Iraq in 2004 whileserving with Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 40 and nowlives in Oxnard.Gill spoke first, introducing his

talk with a clip from “Fast Five,”one of the “Fast and Furious”

sequels for which he coordinatedthe stunts. Later he showed car-chase clips from the televisionshow “Dukes of Hazzard,” not-ing that he was the driver of thestunt car involved. He estimatedhe did at least one car jump aweek every year for six years.His career, he said, was never

about money.“It’s the adrenaline rush.”He also did stunts for “Knight

Rider,” but as the work took atoll on his body — he broke hisneck once and his back twice aswell as more than 20 other bones— he realized he’d need to finda different path.

Today he’s a stunt coordinator,figuring out how other peoplecan do the work he used to do— only better.“I’m doing what I want to do,”

he said. “I can’t give up.”Derbak spoke next. In Septem-

ber of 2009, he was injured inAfghanistan. He underwent sur-gery to his back and legs and hasbeen diagnosed with a traumat-ic brain injury and post trau-matic stress disorder. Today heuses a wheelchair.Recovery, he said, has been

slow.“It’s taken four years, but I’m

back to walking 10 to 20 steps

with a cane,” he told the audi-ence.Host joined Derbak in talking

about not giving up, about tak-ing days one at a time.“You wake up, and your med-

icine is your mind,” said Host,who suffered a brain injury. “Youkeep vigilant, you keep positive,and you learn what you need todo.”Rosenberg agreed that over-

coming adversity is a case ofmind over matter.“I’ve got to keep doing this

because no one else will do it forme,” he said.Rosenberg suffered major in-

fection and internal damagewhen his appendix rupturedwhile he was serving on a nucle-ar submarine. Rather than seektreatment, he continued to serve,and when his condition was fi-nally discovered, he ended upunconscious for two weeks.The men agreed that when life

throws you a curve, you’ve got achoice: You can sit back and donothing, or you can figure outwhat you’re going to do next.“You have to have help,” Gill

said. “You can’t do it by yourself.Ask people. Find out how othersdid it.”Giving up, he said, is not an

option.Rosenberg said that when

faced with the choice of givingup or living, “for me, it was nota difficult decision.”Host agreed.“Keep moving forward,” he

said. “Find one thing, improveon it and gain momentum.”

You’re 13 years old and you really, reallylike to skateboard.And, like, you really want a skateboard

park on base.So dude, what are you gonna do?If you’re Astin Martin, you get a bunch

of friends together and start making yourcase for a skate park at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Point Mugu.“We’re looking for a place to have fun,”

explainedAstin, the 13-year-old sonof Jen-nifer and Chief Boatswain’sMateMichaelMartin of the Navy Operational SupportCenter, Point Mugu. “We need to be ableto stay here and not leave the base.Money’stight these days.”Astin talked with Brett Lane, the Ca-

marillo YouthCenter director, and togeth-er they called a meeting with half a dozenavid skateboarders late in the summer tocame up with a plan.They knowwhere they want the park: in

the deserted hockey rink behind the bar-racks on C Avenue, between 7th and 8thstreets.Theyknowtheywant itmadeof concrete,

not asphalt—“Asphalt’s lame,”one young-ster said.And they know they want mini ramps,

railings, a bowl, a half pipe, a quarter pipeand places to sit.Lights?“Yeah!”“Wait aminute. It’s right next to the bar-

racks. Maybe not.”Lane talked to them about protocol,

about going through channels and beingpolitely persuasive. He had them thinkthrough their arguments and helped thembuild their case.“Whatwouldbe thebenefits of thepark?”

he asked.“We wouldn’t get hit by a car,” one boy

answered.“Pedestrians wouldn’t have to worry

about getting hit by a skateboarder,” saidanother.“Who’d use the park?”Lane asked.“Little kids who want to learn how to

skate.”“Adults who still skate.”“Families!”Once they’d figured out the benefits, they

built some persuasion into the arguments.“Parents will benefit because we’ll be

outside,” one boy said.“They’ll know where we are.”“They won’t worry.”Lane brought a boxof clay so the teenag-

ers could create a mockup of what theywant the park to look like.After the model is finished, he said, the

next step is to present the plan to base of-ficials.“I’m trying to encourage these kids so

they don’t lose the fire,”he said. “There’s agood, fulfilling feeling that comeswhen youtake the initiative and get something done.They’re serious about this.”

Teens making their case for skateboard park at Mugu


Brett Lane, Camarillo Youth Center director,looks over the abandoned hockey rink atNaval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, thatteens want to turn into a skate park. He’shelping the youngsters learn how to properlymake a presentation to base officials.

There’s a good,fulfilling feeling thatcomes when you takethe initiative and getsomething done.

The Wounded Warrior Half-Marathon and 5K held Saturday, Sept. 15, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu was the largest running event in base history, drawing nearly 1,000 com-petitors.

A total of 569 runners took part in the half-marathon, and another 347 ran the 5K. In addition, 39 people, including sev-eral children, walked or ran the Military Mile.

The event has grown exponentially since the first one in 2010, the year NBVC was named the training site for wounded and ill Navy and Coast Guard athletes vying for a spot in the military-wide Warrior Games, held every year in Colorado Springs.

Proceeds from the Morale, Welfare and Recreation event benefit the training pro-gram and help pay for special equipment that can be used by people with disabilities on base, including beach wheelchairs, handicapped-accessible golf carts and pool lifts.

“I’m really excited about the turnout and hope it continues to grow,” said event organizer Amanda Haskell. “It was a re-ally hot day but thank goodness we had enough water and everyone stayed healthy.”

The event got high marks from people milling about afterwards as they listened to the rock band Loose Cannons, ate some of the 5,000 bananas donated by Chiq-uita and enjoyed turkey burgers that were free to all runners.

“The volunteers were really nice,” said Kevin Brown, who finished the half-mar-athon first with a time of 1 hour, 17 min-utes, 52 seconds. “It’s a good course, nice and flat.”

Several of the wounded warriors on base for the third training camp this year participated in the runs. Retired Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Joe Derbak and re-tired Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Brandon Griffith cycled the half-marathon and crossed the finish line unnoticed. They were so far ahead of the pack that every-one was still looking in the opposite direc-tion as 5K runners came in. Their sense of accomplishment was unfazed.

“It was nice until that last mile and a half,” said Derbak. “But that’s when you just reach down and keep going.”

Keena Carstensen, the first woman to cross the finish line with a time of 1:34:54, relished her moment as well.

“My last half-marathon was 12 or 15 years ago,” said the cross-country coach at Thousand Oaks High School. “And it’s my first one since turning 50.”

But her morning was just beginning. She spent the next hour jogging out to meet others in her running group and helping them cross the finish line.

One spectator saw that and ‘fessed up.“I don’t have that much ambition to go

get my sister,” she said with a laugh.The event kicked off with an inspira-

tional message from the base commanding officer, Capt. Larry Vasquez. He welcomed everyone, then said he was so motivated by the wounded warriors he’d met at camp that he was determined to run the half-marathon himself, even though he’d nev-er attempted anything more than a 10K, about half the distance.

Vasquez finished the race with a time of 2:24:51.

The morning was full of poignant mo-ments:

• Lauralee Fuhrmann, whose husband, Tech Sgt. Wayne Fuhrmann is with the 146th Airlift Wing, California Air Na-tional Guard, wore braces on each knee and used a walker to complete the Military Mile. Accompanying her was her 9-year-

old son, Skyler.“I’m sore,” she said afterwards, resting

in the shade. “But I finished.”• Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd

Class Kathleen Ray, one of the wounded warriors training on base, hand-cycled the Military Mile.

“The whole reason I got into this pro-gram was to inspire others,” she said, add-ing that she had practiced “only a little” for the race.

To her surprise, she finished easily.

Spirits are never deflated at a half-marathon finish line, but in this case, toward the end of the event, something else was. Volunteers create a gap so runners can get through, and after a few minutes, the inflatable red gateway was gone.

Kevin Brown, 25, who grew up in Ventura County but now lives in Iowa, finishes the Wounded Warrior Half-Marathon first with a time of 1:17:52.

Thirty-five students in the Naval Construction Training Center’s Construction Mechanic “A” School sound off after running the half-marathon in formation. “It was long and painful, but it was worth it,” said CM3 Sean Badoud, company commander.

Everyone who finished the half-marathon received this medal.

Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer of Naval Base Ventura County, welcomes runners to the Wounded Warrior Half-Marathon. He told the crowd that he’d never run more than a 10K but was so inspired by the Wounded Warriors that he’d decided to run the half-marathon.

“I could have gone faster, but I didn’t want to wear myself out,” she said af-terwards. “I thought it would be a lot longer than it was.”

• Thirty-five students in the Naval Construction Training Center Con-struction Mechanic “A” School at NBVC Port Hueneme ran the half-marathon in formation.

“It was long and painful, but it was worth it because it raised money for the wounded warriors,” said Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Sean Badoud, the company commander.

• The last group to cross the finish line, with a time of 3:42:20, were some of the 21 walkers and runners who had driven down from the Central Valley and competed as Team Sweeney. They were there in honor of Jared Sweeney, a Visalia 19-year-old who died in a car accident in May. Sweeney’s family had asked that in lieu of flowers, proceeds go to benefit wounded warriors. The group drove to Point Mugu to carry out those wishes.

Thirteen commands at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) will honortheir ombudsmen Thursday, Sept. 20, during the annual Ombudsman Ap-preciation Luncheon at the Bard Mansion, NBVC Port Hueneme.The luncheon will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. About 50 people are

expected.The Navy created the ombudsman program 42 years ago to provide a link

between families and command leaders. The ombudsman keeps the com-manding officer informed as to the morale, health and welfare of families,and families are kept up-to-date on the latest command news via newsletter,email or social media.Ombudsmen go through a three-day training program run by the Fleet &

Family Support Center (FFSC), then attend updates several times a year.The ombudsman coordinator at the FFSC is Corey Kendrick. She can be

reached at 989-1682.

from protecting endangered spe-cies to last year’s massive clean-up after a fuel tanker crashednear sensitive wetlands at PointMugu.“You do phenomenal work,”

he told Shide and nine membersof his team who joined him atthe front of the theater to receivethe National Military Fish andWildlife Association award.Smith then provided updates

on issues currently facing theNavy and opened up the sessionfor questions.First, he reassured the group

of about 200 that while theNavyis indeed trying to domore withfewer people and less money,Naval Base VenturaCounty isn’tdestined for closure anytimesoon.“We’re on theWest Coast,”he

said, adding that the Pacific Re-gion is now theNavy’s top prior-

ity.But budget cutbacks are com-

ing, he said, and they’ll probablybe noticed first in groundskeep-ing and facilities maintenance.“The grass will probably get

longer,” he said.Another area that warrants

examination, he added, is foodservice.“The galley model is old and

outdated,” he said. “We are notmaking money on it.”In essence, he said, “We’ve got

to figure out how to do thingsdifferently.We’ve got to bemoreefficient and save money.”Smith said the Navy is follow-

ing in the footsteps of the AirForce and will soon be eliminat-ing car-windshield decals. AtNBVC, details are still beingworked out as to when they willno longer be required and howthe old ones are to be handled.Smith also told motorcycle

riders to expect more stringent

requirements in safety gear.“I have a real hard time with

those uniforms on bikes,” hesaid, pointing to Sailors wearingthe blue Navy Working Uni-form. “You can’t see them.”He said the installations under

his command will soon be or-dered to require motorcycle rid-ers to wear reflective vests onbase 24 hours a day and to banlane-splitting.In response to a question, he

said change is coming to theFleet &Family Support Center’sTransition Assistance Pro-gram.“The transition program we

have now is broken,” he said.FFSC personnel will soon be

undergoing training in a newprogram that he hopes will bemore effective in not only help-ing Sailors learn job-seekingskills but also in stressing to lo-cal businesses the benefits ofhiring veterans.

The question served as an unintentionalsegue into the next building, where con-struction electricians were training.Tour attendees were eventually exposed

to the training basics for all seven Seabeerates, led through the training areas by theSeabees who teach the individual cours-es.“I had no clue that so many skills were

taught to our Seabee students so quickly!”saidKathleen Sheehan, chief of police forthe city of Port Hueneme. “I especiallyenjoyed how the commander gave us anoverview to put the curriculum and coor-dination between the disparate schools allinto perspective, then broke the trainingdown into understandable chunks.”“It certainly helped our understanding

to have the actual instructors take the timeto lead each of the individual sessions,”said John Moore, editor of the VenturaCounty Star newspaper.Several tourmembers— includingmem-

bers of city councils, county supervisorsand representatives from state and federalgovernment offices — expressed surprise

and pleasure at the depth of training of-fered atNCTC, as well as the unprecedent-

ed access the tours offer.“I have been onnumerous tours of Naval

Base Ventura County throughout theyears,” said Brian Miller, district chief ofstaff for U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-SimiValley, “but most were just ‘drive-bys’ offacilities with very little explanation of theactivities that occur inside the buildings.This tour was excellent because it concen-trated on one aspect of the base and gaveus an in-depth overview of that activity.”ForNBVC, tours such as this are critical

tools in community engagement and out-reach efforts, allowing the community tolearn more about the base and its mis-sion.“We are reaching out to the leaders in

our community and offering them the op-portunity to come learn more about theirneighbors at NBVC,” said Capt. LarryVasquez, NBVC’s commanding officer.“The Chief of Naval Operations has stat-ed that ourNavywill ‘Be ready to fight andwin today, while building the ability to wintomorrow.’ The training and operationsthat occur at Naval Base Ventura County,fromSeabees to cutting-edgeweapons test-ing to flight operations, are all criticallyimportant to our nation’s defense.”

Over the summer, high school studentsparticipated in the Society of AmericanMilitary Engineers (SAME) Engineeringand Construction Camp at Naval BaseVentura County, where lessons weregiven on leadership and teamwork aswell as engineering and construction.The students worked with volunteers

from the local Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalions (NMCBs), 31st SeabeeReadiness Group (31st SRG), NavalConstruction Training Center (NCTC)and civilians from the Naval FacilitiesExpeditionary Logistics Center(NFELC).Participants came from as nearby as

Oxnard and as far away as South Korea.The Korean student’s parents are servicemembers in Korea, and when this uniqueopportunity came up for him to learnfrom the Seabees, they enrolled him andsent him to Ventura County to attendthis camp.“The Society of American Military

Engineers camp is a great opportunityfor high school students from around

the world to get together and apply whatthey learn during the school year topractical engineering challenges,” saidLt. Rachael Musser of NMCB 4.The students put their construction

and engineering knowledge to the test

over the course of the week through avariety of projects.They designed cardboard boats to race

against those of other teams. They builtload-bearing bridges out of popsiclesticks. They even poured and tested the

strength of a concrete beam.Also included in the weeklong camp

were tours of the base; classes on fram-ing, welding, and hydraulics; and a littleexercise with the “Seabee Olympics,”where each team showed their physicalprowess by competing in games such asrelay races, Humvee pulls and water bal-loon tosses.“My experience as a SAME camp

mentor was very rewarding,” said Muss-er. “My squad of campers was veryenthusiastic, professional and person-able, and they came up with quite a fewinnovative solutions that I had notthought of. I learned from them.”
