Question: Last month, I noticed the fags fy-
ing at half-staff. When I asked why, I was told it
was because a retired general had passed away.
I thought we only lowered the fag to honor fallen
heroes or mark tragedies? Why lower it at a Navy
base for a retired non-Navy offcer?
Answer: The U.S. fag is fown at half-staff (or
in our case, half-mast) for several very specifc
reasons, all laid out in detail in the U.S. Flag Code
(36 USC Chapter 10, Article 175, section m).
At its core, the code grants the U.S. president
and state or territorial governors the authority to
order the fag to half-staff in their jurisdictions
to mark the death of principle fgures within their
government. Certain key fgures, such as sitting or
former presidents, chiefs of staff, cabinet secretar-
ies or Supreme Court justices have specifc time-
lines regarding when the fag is lowered and for
how long.
In the case you cited, retired Air Force Gen. Da-
vid C. Jones was honored at his passing by fying
the fag at half-staff, not because he was a general,
but because Jones was the former Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, serving under President Jimmy Carter
and President Ronald Reagan.
The president can order the fag to half-staff to
mark tragedies or holidays as well. For example,
the fag is always fown at half-staff the morning
of Memorial Day and generally is ordered fown
at half-staff for Police Offcers Memorial Day in
May. Last April, it few at half-staff in honor of the
victims of the attack during the Boston Marathon.

er called the Triple Triple, Jakes Way-
back Burgers will be joining the newly
opened Panda Express in the food court
at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme, Navy Exchange.
NEXGeneral Manager Anna Esguerra
said she hopes the new restaurant will be
open sometime this fall. It will be the sec-
ond Jakes Wayback Burgers in Ventura
County; the first opened in March in Ven-
tura.
In addition to its burgers, Jakes is
known for its chili, hot dogs and milk
shakes.
Its specialty is the Triple Triple. Accord-
ing to the restaurants nutritional analysis,
the burger has 1,980 calories 1,120 of
them from fat and 2,010 milligrams of
sodium. It does, however, provide 100 per-
cent of the recommended daily require-
ment for iron.
Theres also a veggie burger on the

Bard Elementary School on Pleasant
Valley Road in Port Hueneme got a last-
minute sprucing-up Sunday, Aug. 25,
thanks to some volunteers from its neigh-
bor, Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
The day before teachers showed up for
work and two days before students ar-
rived a dozen Sailors showed up to
paint clearance arcs on the sidewalks out-
side exterior doors, paint regulation lines
on the outdoor basketball hoops, paint
hopscotch lines on the playground and
clean up some earlier stenciling work on
Walk signs throughout the school.
Theyd started some of the work the
week before.
Were blessed to have them,said Prin-
cipal Sue Parsons. Theyre absolutely
fantastic.
She said if the Sailors hadnt volun-
teered, she would have ended up doing the
work herself, with help fromher husband,
Andy, and custodians who were already
swamped trying to get classrooms ready
and doing larger paint projects like full
doors and walls.
Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Osvaldo
Campos with NBVC Air Operations said
School Liaison Officer Monica James had
called, saying Bard was requesting some
last-minute help before school started, so

Now that the students are back in
school, expect a Back-to-School Night
very soon.
Its important for parents to attend this
evening event, and its also important that
you get the most out of it. This may be
your first and best glimpse into your
childs school day, and its also a great
opportunity to find out how you can best
support your student and teacher.
One of the things youll learn about is
your childs typical school day schedule.
Youll see what the classroom looks like
and possibly some examples of your
students work.
Do you ever wonder what it would be
like to sit in a classroom again? At Back-
to-School Night, you will get that oppor-
tunity. Fortunately, you will only have to
sit in the student-size desk for about 15
minutes. However, it will give you an idea
of how it feels to sit there all day long.
At Back-to-School Night, you will learn
how to best to contact your childs teach-
er. Most teachers now prefer email, but
some may prefer a phone call. The teach-
er will be sure to share that information
with you during your classroom visit.
Here are some steps to ensuring a suc-
cessful Back-to- School Night:
Find out if you can bring the kids.
Some schools prefer a no-children Back-
to-School Night, believing that parents
should be free to focus on meeting the
teacher and listening to the presentations.
However, more and more schools recog-
nize that arranging for child care, getting
the kids home and then returning to
school is challenging for parents, and they
have started offering child care at the
school for the evening, and possibly even
a fundraising dinner. Be sure to find out
what your schools policy is and make the
necessary arrangements.
Devise a strategy. If you have more
than one child at the school, youll need
to strategize. If your older child has al-
ready had the same teacher as your
younger child, you might decide that vis-
iting a teacher youve never met is the
priority for the evening. If both parents
are able to attend, you can divide and
conquer or take turns in the different
classrooms.
Bring a pen and paper. You will prob-
ably need to take notes. Remember to
write down how best to contact your
childs teacher and any important upcom-
ing dates.
Dont ask specific questions about
your child. Ask questions about the cur-
riculum, field trips or the grading policy,
but refrain from asking questions spe-
cific to your child that wont be useful to
other parents. Its better to make an ap-
pointment for those questions at a later
date.
Be ready to volunteer. There will be
many opportunities to sign up for volun-
teer activities, either for schoolwide pro-
grams or in the classroom. Youll be bet-
ter prepared if youve already given some
thought to your time constraints and
availability.
Bring a note for the teacher about
your child. If your teacher hasnt already
asked for one, now is a good time to pro-
vide a letter describing your childs per-
sonality, academic history and any areas
of concern you may have. The teacher
will appreciate receiving the informa-
tion.
If you havent yet been notified of your
schools Back-to-School Night, please
check the schools website or contact the
Naval Base Ventura County school liai-
son officer for assistance.

NAVFAC EXWC
With the arrival of September
comes the start of the annual
Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC).
The CFC is the largest and
most successful workplace fund-
raising campaign in the world.
Over the past 52 years, the CFC
has raised $7 billion to help
neighbors in need around the
corner, across the nation and
throughout the world.
Capt. Mark K. Edelson, com-
manding officer of the Naval
Facilities Engineering and Ex-
peditionary Warfare Center
(NAVFAC EXWC), has been
selected as this years chairman
of the California Gold Coast
Combined Federal Campaign.
He replaces Capt. William De-
Bow, former commanding offi-
cer of Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Port Hueneme Divi-
sion.
The work of the CFC chari-
ties remains as important as ever
this year, Edelson said. As the
single biggest fundraising event
in the United States, CFC is a
major source of income for na-
tional and our local charities.
CFC provides every federal
worker, uniformed and civilian,
the opportunity to donate to the
groups they care about. The pro-
cess is simple and convenient.
Using the online processes or
traditional form, you choose
from thousands of charities that
may have helped you or someone
you care about.
This is our chance to give
back to the community; I hope
everyone takes the opportunity
to contribute.
The mission of the 2013 Cal-
ifornia Gold Coast CFC is to
provide each federal employee
the opportunity to contribute to
one or more charities of their
choice that support a wide vari-
ety of programs to improve the
quality of life for all. Nearly
2,000 national and local chari-
ties are accessible through the
2013 California Gold Coast
CFC. For these charities to make
a difference, they need donations
of time and money from indi-
viduals willing to look past their
own needs to focus on the needs
of others.
The past generosity of federal
workers has allowed the Califor-
nia Gold Coast CFC to be the
largest and most successful em-
ployee workplace giving cam-
paign in the region. CFC repre-
sentatives from Naval Base
Ventura County commands will
be contacting their employees
soon to provide them with the
opportunity to contribute to one
or more of the nearly 2,000
charities in this years cam-
paign.
CFC is a complete donor
choice campaign. Individuals
may direct their support to char-
ities that work on the issues they
care deeply about. Many have
favorite charities, and those who
dont can review the 2013 book-
let to find charities that align
with their interests.
Those who want to take the
opportunity to learn more about
the various local charities and
their programs will have an op-
portunity at one of this months
charity kickoff events. These
events provide an opportunity
to meet with representatives
from several local charities and
to gain an appreciation for the
work they perform.
Kickoff events planned for Combined Federal Campaign
Capt. Mark K. Edelson,
commanding officer of the
Naval Facilities Engineering and
Expeditionary Warfare Center,
is this years chairman of the
California Gold Coast Combined
Federal Campaign.
Two kickoff events are
planned for the Annual Com-
bined Federal Campaign:
Point Mugu: Tuesday,
Sept. 17, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,

Worship schedule
When 7,000 married people were
asked how they feel during a conflict
with their spouse, 83 percent of the men
said they felt disrespected; 72 percent
of the women, on the other hand, said
they felt unloved.
This information tells us that men and
women communicate differently during
a conflict.
You can use this information to
strengthen your relationship by being
sensitive to how your spouse or signifi-
cant other communicates during con-
flict.
The Bible says in Lamentations 4:9-
10, Two are better than one, because
they have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up his fel-
low. But woe to him who is alone when
he falls and has not another to lift him
up!
If you can learn to speak your part-
ners language, you have a significantly
better chance of solving the problem
and improving your relationship.
A healthier relationship is possible. It
takes hard work. You have already com-
mitted yourself to your relationship, so
improving communication should be a
natural step.
I would like to give you some tools to
put in your relationship tool box.
These three steps will open the door to
better communication.
What strengths does your spouse or
significant other have that you do not
have?
Tell your spouse or significant oth-
er a strength he or she possesses and
why you admire that strength.
Write down his or her response to
that statement. Was is positive or nega-
tive? How did saying something affect
you?
You might believe that talking about
your differences will be divisive, but you
are wrong! Negative thinking about
your differences can be divisive. The dif-
ferences in how we communicate reflect
our individual personalities and high-
light our uniqueness as individuals. Our
uniqueness is meant to strengthen the
relationship bond, not tear it apart.
Before you try these steps, be certain
your relationship is on sure ground. If
you have been fighting or using hateful
speech toward each other, you need
more help than this simple exercise.
Proverbs 15:1 says, A soft answer turns
away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up
anger.
You can have a strong relationship
during deployment. In fact, I believe
that it can get better so that when you
reunite you both will be stronger!
Do not hesitate to reach out for help
and try this exercise. You may be sur-
prised by how your differences in com-
munication can make your relationship
better.
Learning how to communicate during conflict is critical

Summer is over. Your kids are back at
school, and you want to get out of the
house. Your significant other is current-
ly deployed, and you need something to
take your mind off that. Have you con-
sidered volunteering with the Navy-Ma-
rine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)?
There are many unexpected benefits
to volunteering. Recent research has
found that volunteers have lower self-
rated levels of depression and high levels
of well-being and life satisfaction. They
volunteer to make a difference in some-
one elses life.
Volunteering helps with developing
real-world skills. If you are looking for
a job, volunteering with the NMCRS is
a great way to get office experience and
build your resume. You can put these
skills into action in the real world, and
you gain experience you can use in your
work life and your personal life.
Volunteering allows you to mix with a
diverse group of people who can teach
you something new. This opens the door
for making professional connections and
boosting your current career. Along the
way, you will meet like-minded people
and gain new experiences, social and
otherwise.
Volunteering allows you to save mon-
ey while giving back. If you have causes
that are close to your heart but your bud-
get is tight, you can give whatever spare
time you have in place of cash. Keep your
money growing in the bank, but take
some time out of a weekend to volunteer
at a local organization or event. While
monetary donations help, physical help
is often much more appreciated.
While volunteering with the NMCRS,
you can create your budget and learn
skills to save money, and feel good about
giving back!
The NMCRS office is in the Welcome
Center at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, convenient if you live on
base. Dont forget that we reimburse for
child care and mileage!
If youre interested in volunteering
with the NMCRS, call 805-982-4409 for
more information and to request a vol-
unteer packet.
Volunteering for NMCRS can yield unexpected benefits
The NMCRS Office is open from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through
Friday. It is located in the NBVCPort
Hueneme Welcome Center, 2600
Dodson St., Suite 1. Information:
982-4409.
The NMCRS Thrift Store is open
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays and
Wednesdays and is located in Bldg.
829, at the corner of Harris Street
and 15th Avenue, NBVC Port Hue-
neme. The store is looking for dona-
tions clothes, household items,
sporting goods, books, toys, movies,
and even certain uniform items. No
furniture or used baby car seats are
accepted.
Budget 4 Baby classes are sched-
uled for Sept. 17 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
and Oct. 8 from 10 to 11:30 am.

Studies say depression
is lower and well-being

By Tech Sgt. Thomas Kessler
and Kevin Chandler
344th Training Squadron, Detachment 1
Walking though the commissary or the
Navy Exchange, you may have noticed
us in our Air Force uniforms. Your first
assumption might be that we are part of
the 146th Airlift Wing, but some of us
Airmen are actually stationed at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) as stu-
dents, technical school instructors and
staff.
In October 1996, Detachment 1 trans-
ferred from Lackland Air Force Base in
Texas and was officially activated in the
northwest corner of NBVC Port Huen-
eme. Since then, this schoolhouse has
satisfied both Air Force and Navy mis-
sion requirements for vehicle mainte-
nance qualifications and certifications.
After graduating the U.S. Air Force
Basic Military Training course at Lack-
land, more than 1,500 students each year
begin their vehicle management career at
the 344th Training Squadron, Detach-
ment 1 (344TRS DET 1), schoolhouse.
The schoolhouse is a big change of
pace from Basic Training, said Airman
1st Class Jason Dudash of Urban, Ohio,
currently a vehicle and equipment main-
tenance student. I also enjoy learning
and working on the different vehicles.
The students begin their training with
the Navys aspiring Seabee construction
mechanics in a 10-week fundamental au-
tomotive mechanics program at the Na-
val Construction Training Center, also
based at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Upon completion, Airmen move to the
Air Force training facility near the Vic-
toria gate for another five to six weeks
to learn specific vehicle maintenance.
This training facility offers Community
College of the Air Force accreditation
maintenance courses for fire trucks, 25-
and 60K-loaders, forklifts, de-icers,
cranes, High Mobility Multipurpose
Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWVs or Hum-
mers), Mine Resistant Ambush Protect-
ed (MRAP) vehicles and vehicle manage-
ment and analysis systems (VM&A).
VM&A is scheduled to transfer its train-
ing course back to Lackland next
month.
What I enjoy the most at the school-
house is all the hands-on training that is
offered to the students, said Airman
Basic Ian Boutwell of Corpus Christi,
Texas, a material handling equipment
student.
Technical students are managed and
trained by more than 70 Air Force active
duty and civilian personnel assigned to
NBVCPort Hueneme. The military train-
ing leaders, identified by a blue rope,
enforce high standards of conduct, ac-
countability and discipline. They also
oversee the Airmens physical training
program and drill practice.
When the Airmen are not at the dorms,
they are at school, and detachment in-
structors ensure they receive the technical
training and mentoring needed to suc-
cessfully transition from training status
to serving in an operational Air Force
vehicle management flight.
The schoolhouse also accommodates
its own Career Development Courses
(CDC) writers. They manage seven sets
with 16 volumes of upgrade training ma-
terial for vehicle management profession-
als. Our CDC writers make certain those
sets include the latest technological ad-
vancements and environmental and
safety trends in conjunction with current
Air Force policies and procedures.
The detachments fleet of 71 vehicles
and equipment assets, mostly used as
training aids, are kept running by our
very own vehicle maintenance team.
Like a small military melting pot, all
branches pass through or are stationed
on this base. A small portion belongs to
the United States Air Forces 344TRS
DET 1.
Its always nice to know who your
neighbors are!

Showing themselves to be good

neighbors at the Navy base where
theyre stationed, about two dozen stu-
dents and instructors in the Air Force
344th Training Squadron, Detachment
1, spent a Saturday morning cleaning
up Family Beach at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
Its a great way to let people know
were here, Tech Sgt. Thomas Kessler
said of the squadron, which has a
training facility at NBVC Port Huen-
eme. And in just a couple of hours,
were finding a lot of stuff cans,
plastic.
Community relations events are
nothing new to the squadron, which
has a regular crew that volunteers one
day each month at the Ventura Rescue
Mission in Oxnard.
The staff also took part in the Mili-
tary & Veteran Expo in Camarillo Sat-
urday, Aug. 24, bringing several piec-
es of military equipment for display.
Among those at the beach cleanup
Saturday, Aug. 17, was Senior Master
Sgt. Robert Haines, who pointed out
that the squadron recently developed
its own Facebook page and has ap-
pointed its first ombudsman.
Several who took part brought their
youngsters to help with the cleanup.
Youve got to teach them while
theyre young, Kessler said.

After a 30-year career that earned him
high praise as a confidante and a calming
force, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Command Master Chief Thomas Cyr re-
tired Friday, Aug. 30, in a time-honored
ceremony onthe parade grounds of NBVC
Port Hueneme.
Dozens of Cyrs shipmates gathered on
the unseasonably warmday tohonor a man
whom his friends said never hesitated to
share the spotlight.
He never made it about himself, said
Rear Adm. Bret J. Muilenburg, who served
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
before becoming commander of Naval Fa-
cilities Engineering Command Pacific.
Whether it involved family or Sailors, he
made sure someone else was successful.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, who has been
NBVCs commanding officer for a year and
a half, said he learned quickly that Cyr
wouldserve as his trustedcounsel,andhe
praisedhimfor keeping others inthe room
calmunder challenging times.
Cyrs parents, married 56 years an
inspiration to all of us, Muilenburg said
traveled fromConnecticut to attend the
ceremony, as did several other family mem-
bers, many of whom are retired or are still
serving in the Armed Forces.
Cyr reflectedonthat commitment, point-
ing out that in his family, there was no
Army or Navy or Marine Corps
there was just service.
Saying service was common terminol-
ogy,he said, adding that today, Americans
are more apt to talk about the militaryor
the branchname. Perhaps, he said, the word
serviceshould be used a bit more, allow-
ing people to ponder its unfiltered mean-
ing.
Cyrs wife, Marcia, sonJacobanddaugh-
ter Sophia joined Cyrs parents in the front
row. Cyr mentioned each of themby name,
thanking them for adapting to Navy life
without complaint even through seven
deployments.
His voice bittersweet, he took note of
missed family moments, then spoke direct-
ly to his daughter.
NowImgoing tobe home,he toldher,
and youre ready to go off to college.
Cyr thanked his fellowshipmates, noting
that he appreciated the caliber of people I
found myself surrounded by.
You get the word service, and being
around you made me better, he said.
Following Navy tradition, Sailors read
Cyr Old Glory, The Watch and the
Chief Petty Officer Retirement Creed.

The Navy Exchange at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, said
thank you to its customers in a big way
Friday, Aug. 16, with a summer bash that
featured an autograph session with a
mixed martial arts fighter, a live band
and lots of cotton candy.
Point Mugu NEX Manager Avril Sam
said the event was a first for Point Mugu.
The much larger Port Hueneme NEX has
had several, with this years featuring the
Budweiser Clydesdales.
With the surf contest being canceled,
we wanted to do something for military
families here, she explained.
From 3 to 6 p.m., children could get
their faces painted, jump around in a
Bounce House, have an animal made for
them by a balloon artist and taste free
samples from Subway. Their parents
could enter drawings for free gifts, pick
up some recycling tips from NBVCs
solid waste program and check out the
giant Monster energy drink truck on dis-
play.
Monster sponsored the visit by Ulti-
mate Fighting Championship (UFC)
bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz,
who signed autographs and gamely held
4-month-old Arianna Salinas, whose
mom, Tasha, wanted a photo of him
holding her baby. Ariannas dad is Mas-
ter at Arms 3rd Class Zachary Salinas
with NBVC Point Mugu.
Playing their second gig in their bud-
ding career was FRC Live, a seven-mem-
ber classic rock band made up of active-
duty personnel from the Fleet Readiness
Center Southwest (FRCSW) Detachment
Point Mugu. The drummer is officer in
charge, Cmdr. Allen Blaxton.
We have a lot of fun doing this, said
Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class
Rene Benitez, who brought the band to-
gether for an Asian-Pacific Islander event
earlier this year. Theyll play again Sept.
27 for an FRCSW Hispanic Heritage
Month celebration. Were trying to do
the best with the time we have here.

NOSC Ventura County
Selected Reserve (SELRES)
Sailors and their families from
39 local Reserve units in the
Southwest Region attended a
Deployment Readiness Train-
ing (DRT) event Saturday,
Aug. 10, at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme.
Navy Operational Support
Center (NOSC) Ventura Coun-
ty hosted the DRT, a require-
ment for imminent and volun-
tary Navy Reservists prior to
deployment.
The event included guest
speakers Vice Adm. Robin
Braun, Chief of Navy Reserve;
Capt. Larry Vasquez, com-
manding officer of Naval Base
Ventura County; and Ellis
Green, mayor of Port Huen-
eme.
Braun welcomed home the
70 returning warriors and ex-
pressed her appreciation to all
of the families for their endur-
ing support. She spoke about
the changing force structure
and the strong capabilities that
Navy Reserve Sailors bring to
emerging global challenges,
and she emphasized the need
for every Reserve Sailor to be
fully ready to mobilize at all
times.
The returning Sailors and
their families shook hands
with veterans before ascending
the steps to the stage where
they were greeted and honored
by the guest speakers. The six
World War II, Korean and
Vietnam veterans are from lo-
cal hospice assisted living
residences.
It was really nice to see the
whole Reserve family here, and
especially the veterans who
have served and gone before
me, said Hospital Corpsman
3rd Class (SW) Rafael Vene-
gas, a Reservist assigned to
NOSC Ventura County.
Attendees were introduced
to local representatives from
military support agencies, pro-
grams and charities, including
Veterans Affairs; Military One
Source; American Red Cross;
TRICARE; Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society; Morale,
Welfare and Recreation; Em-
ployer Support of the Guard
and Reserve (ESGR); and the
Naval Base Ventura County
Fleet and Family Support Cen-
ter (FFSC).
I was so impressed to have
all of the resources available
for me, all in one place, said
Navy spouse Amy Venegas.
Back in 2012, when my hus-
band left on his deployment,
it was a challenge to under-
stand all of Navy acronyms
and resources available to me.
Now I understand more and
not left trying to find an-
swers.
The event began at the Need-
ham Theater and transitioned
to the NOSC, where the fami-
lies were fed a luncheon of
chicken, ribs and Filipino side
dishes. Afterwards, they were
free to roam around the pro-
vider booths, gathering addi-
tional service and support in-
formation.
It was one of the best events
that I have attended. The Re-
serve Sailors and families of
Ventura County stand ready to
answer the call to duty, to
serve their Navy and the na-
tion, wherever needed around
the world, said Capt. Ronald
Oswald, commanding officer
of NOSC Ventura County. It
is heartwarming to see Sailors
and families obtain crucial in-
formation about military pro-
grams that directly help them
meet everyday challenges. The
interaction between our World
War II, Korean and Vietnam
veterans, our Sailors and the
providers of the services helped
bridge generations of those
who have served and those who
still serve.
DRT is a component of the
Department of Defense Yellow
Ribbon Program, which con-
sists of proactive education on
all phases of deployment and
the challenges associated with
them. The goal of DRTs is to
arm Reservists and their fam-
ilies with access to the various
resources and support pro-
grams available to them before,
during and after deployment.
NOSC Ventura County as-
sists in the execution of Navy
Reserve policy and administra-
tion through indirect support
of mobilization and active
Navy support requirements.
Their support function in-
cludes approximately 1,150
Selected Reservists represent-
ing 39 Reserve units.

Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 3 replaced
NMCB 5 in both Yokosuka, Ja-
pan, and Diego Garcia last
month.
Yokosukas change of charge
ceremony took place Aug. 15 at
the detachments headquarters.
According to the detachments
officer in charge, Ensign Karl
Coulson, the team is focused on
providing both quality construc-
tion and ambassadorship.
We are all very excited to be-
gin construction, get into a
rhythm and finish the projects
with quality,said Coulson. We
are very happy to represent the
Seabees and show this amazing
culture that we respect them and
are proud to be allies.
During its six-month deploy-
ment, NMCB 3 plans to com-
plete the construction of two
pre-engineered buildings (PEB)
at two different sites in Yokosu-
ka. One will provide government
employees with new office spac-
es, shower rooms and break ar-
eas. The second will be used as a
Morale, Welfare and Recreation
youth activity center at a nearby
family housing complex.
While not on the job, Yoko-
suka detachment Seabees are
planning several community rela-
tions projects that will provide
the team with a greater under-
standing of the Japanese culture
and customs and help strengthen
local friendships.
I love being deployed to Yo-
kosuka,said NMCB3 Logistics
Specialist 3rd Class Ramon
Monge. It gives you the oppor-
tunity to travel to the surround-
ing cities, experience the entirety
of the Japanese culture and what
its all about.
Meanwhile, at Diego Garcia,
NMCB 3 relieved 5 during a
change of charge ceremony Aug.
11.
Ensign Mallory Smith, the
detachments officer in charge,
said her group is eager to help
strengthen ties with the allied
British government, which con-
trols the territory of Diego Gar-
cia in the Indian Ocean.
My team is focused and hap-
py to be engaged in what we do
best construction is the Sea-
bees bread and butter, Smith
said. This project allows us to
provide a valuable living area to
other people working just as hard
as we plan to. It will allow us to
leave a lasting imprint, and
through our quality labor, fur-
ther strengthen ties with one of
our oldest allies.
During the six-month deploy-
ment, the Seabees will continue
construction on a 3,000-square-
foot modified contractor living
unit. It will consist of 12 rooms
with shared bathrooms, a com-
mon area, kitchen and laundry.
Diego Garcia is a beautiful
island and the people we are
working with are great profes-
sionals,said Smith. Our project
is important to providing the
contractors here with improved
living conditions that will hope-
fully increase their quality of
life.

NMCB 3
OKINAWA, Japan More than 30
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 participated
in a friendship exchange at Command-
er, Fleet Activities Okinawa (CFAO)
White Beach Naval Facility, Saturday,
Aug. 24.
NMCB 3 volunteers joined roughly
60 other participants from the Japanese
Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF),
their families and Sailors from CFAO
Junior Enlisted Association to help
clean up trash and bury seaweed along
roughly 3 miles of the White Beach
coastline.
The opportunity provided NMCB 3
with the chance to bond and learn
about the Japanese culture after offi-
cially assuming command of CFAOs
Camp Shields and all Naval Construc-
tion Force (NCF) operations in the
Pacific Region Aug. 23.
Being in Okinawa is a privilege,
said the president of NMCB 3s First
Class Association, Engineering Aide
1st Class Willie Blanding. Its an ex-
cellent host nation with an interesting
culture. Im excited to learn more about
the Japanese and how we can continue
being great neighbors and friends.
Following the beach cleanup, volun-
teers enjoyed a barbecue and got to
know one another. Many Seabees took
the opportunity to learn new Japanese
words and sayings to help communi-
cate, while others enjoyed conversa-
tions understood as critical lessons
taught by JMSDF members and their
families.
According to volunteer Equipment
Operator 3rd Class Jess Wallace, those
conversations helped him adjust his
thinking to daily courtesies shown to
his Japanese friends.
With most Americans, the more we
get to know each other, the more re-
laxed we are with the way we act we
tend to cut loose more and tone down
the formalities, said Wallace. With
the Japanese, I learned, they are cour-
teous of each other at all times, espe-
cially their close friends and family
members. Thats something we need to
make sure we understand and apply.

NMCB 3
DILI, Timor-Leste Seabees fromNaval
Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3
officially relievedNMCB5 of all duties and
project activities during a change of charge
ceremony Aug. 9 at Camp Lenhoff.
According tothe detachments officer-in-
charge, Lt. Brent Oglesby, NMCB 3 is fo-
cused on strengthening the relationship be-
tween the U.S. and the Timorese through
humanitarian construction projects and
community relations activities.
My Seabees andI couldnot be more ex-
citedtobe here inTimor-Leste,saidOgles-
by. We have beenblessedwithanopportu-
nity to make a significant difference in the
lives of the Timorese and their nation. We
intend to make the most of it.
During the six-month deployment, the
Seabees will rehabilitate twoprimary school
buildings toinclude newroofing, doors, win-
dows andgeneral repairs; construct a latrine
facility and kitchen; and build fencing.
NMCB 3 will also assist in the construc-
tion of a rock jetty to be used by the Ti-
morese Maritime Police Unit and will pro-
videexperts toassess theconditionandmake
repairs to several community medical clin-
ics.
The Seabees will be working with the
Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL) en-
gineers through the Australian-led Defense
CooperationProgram(DCP), acooperative
effort that is designed to mutually enhance
the skills of the Seabees and the F-FDTL.

DILI, Timor-Leste Seabees from
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3s Timor-Leste Construction
Civic Action Detail (CCAD) have pro-
vided clean water for 23 residents at the
Ahisaun Foundation Home for physi-
cally disabled youth.
Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Joseph
Pica, Utilitiesman 2nd Class Juliet Wilson
and Construction Electrician 3rd Class
Hezekiah Morgan successfully repaired
the homes degraded water filtration sys-
tem, which had been providing residents
with unsafe water used for drinking and
cooking.
According to Wilson, the volunteer re-
pairs, which were completed last month,
also served as a training opportunity, al-
lowing the residents to care for the system
long after the Seabees depart Timor-
Leste.
Seeing the dirty water the residents
were using for cooking and drinking made
me really upset,Wilson said. Imso glad
we were not only able to repair the system,
but train some of the residents on how to
prevent this from happening in the fu-
ture.
The teamremoved, cleanedandinstalled
two micron filters to capture the waters
impurities and sediments, making it safe
to drink and use for cooking.
Additionally, they successfully miti-
gated an electrical hazard by removing
heavy grease that had developed on the
filtration systems power outlet and in-
stalled a 20-watt power supply to help
guarantee proper operating temperatures
for the filters ultraviolet light. The ulta-
violet light kills microorganisms and dis-
infects the water without using chemi-
cals.
Pica, CCADTimor-Lestes medical pro-
vider, oversaw the operation and tested
the water following the repairs, ensuring
they were successful.
To see the Seabees in action, applying
their knowledge and skills to help those
in legitimate need, is awesome,Pica said.
Work like this goes a long way to improv-
ing the overall health of the citizens of
Timor-Leste and makes a lasting positive
impression on them.

Child and Youth Programs to bring this
event to Family Beach. Stand-up paddle
boards, soft-top surfboards, kayaks and
body boards all of which are available for
rent at MWRs Outdoor Adventure Center
at NBVC Port Hueneme were provided
so visitors could try out different water
sports, many for the first time, and a vol-
leyball net and obstacle course were in con-
stant use.
Twelve people signed up for an afternoon
surf clinic taught by professionals Bob
Forbes and Chad Eastman.
We were obviously disappointed that we
couldnt have the surf contest this year, ex-
plained Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding
officer of NBVC. We just didnt have the
money in these times. But we really wanted
to do something for our families, and I think
this is being very well received.
He was especially pleased by the response
to the surf clinic.
Its not every day you can get lessons from
a professional surfer, he said.
MWRs Liberty Program brought more
than two dozen Sailors and Airmen, many
of them students at the Naval Construction
Training Center, to this pristine stretch of
Southern California beach.
While Airman 1st Class Scott Hitchner let
his friends bury him up to his neck in the
sand, Airman 1st Class Alexander Kitten-
dorf tried surfing.
Im about to ship out, and if I didnt try
surfing while in California, I wouldnt be
able to live with it, Kittendorf said.
Ten-year-old Ryan Maldonado also tried
surfing, getting help from the pros as he
stood up on the surfboard. His parents,
Bridget and Chief Builder Patrick Maldo-
nado of Naval Mobile Construction Battal-
ion 4, said hed tried surfing for the first
time a couple of weeks earlier in Hawaii.
He wants to keep it going, especially now
that he can get lessons with a professional,
his mom said.
The Rodriguez family enjoyed being able
to try out the different water sports. Lt. Alex
Rodriguez, a supply officer with Naval Car-
go Handling Battalion 14, tried kayaking
with his 4-year-old daughter, Ivanka.
She got scared a little bit at first, but then
she calmed down, Rodriguez said.
Vasquez watched the action from the beach
with his family and a group of visiting
friends.
Were so blessed to serve in his location,
he said. It would be a shame not to take
advantage of it.
Kayaks, soft-top surfboards, stand-up paddleboards and bodyboards were all available to try out for free
during Family Beach Day.

The U.S. Seabee Museumat Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme
is one step closer to getting a 1940 theater
marquee in its World War II exhibit.
The marquee of the Mayfair Theater, a
downtown Ventura landmark that burned
in 2000 and was razed in 2004, was lifted
Monday, Aug. 26, from the dirt of an
empty lot at Figueroa and East Santa
Clara streets where its been sitting for the
last decade.
The structure, which measures 10 feet,
3 inches, at its tallest point, was placed on
a flatbed truck and taken to a ranch in
Santa Paula, where volunteer Seabees will
clean it and inspect it to see exactly what
needs to be done before it can be installed
inside the museum.
Once its clean, well have a much bet-
ter idea of what this will entail, said Bob
Quinn, a retired Navy captain whos a
member of the Navy Seabee Veterans of
America Island X-7, which is organizing
the project, arranging for financing and
coordinating donations. We knowtheres
sheet metal that needs to be fixed. We
know it will need a particle blasting to
take off the old paint. Then, after its re-
painted, it will be ready for new neon and
fluorescent lights.
Quinn said the veterans had received
one rough estimate of $25,000 for restora-
tion.
We hope to get it down to half that or
less, he said.
The first step toward restoration took
place when a crane lifted the estimated
1,000-pound structure off the ground.
Made of galvanized sheet metal and angle
iron, the marquee held together as it was
placed on the flatbed truck.
It was built to be pretty sturdy, said
Dave Tilsner, owner of Daves Signs in
Ventura. Today, most of them are alu-
minum.
After the initial cleaning and inspection,
the marquee will be brought to the Seabee
Museumparking lot, where any necessary
steelwork, painting and rewiring can be-
gin.
We want it to be where its accessible,
Quinn explained.
The Mayfair Theater was located at 793
E. Santa Clara St., at the corner of Santa
Clara and Ash streets in downtown Ven-
tura. The site is now condominiums.
Quinn said a donation box is located at
the gift shop in the Seabee Museum.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Each year in September we take time to
recognize and appreciate those who have
volunteered as Navy Family Ombudsmen.
This year, on Sept. 10, commands from
all across Naval Base Ventura County will
come together at the Bard Mansion to give
thanks to the spouses who have volun-
teered for these positions.
The Navy Ombudsman Program was
established 43 years ago, on Sept. 14, 1970,
by Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr., Chief of
Naval Operations, when he issued Z-
Gram 24, which emphasized the impor-
tance of the Navy spouse. Z-Gram 24
stressed the need to create a way for Navy
spouses to present complaints, viewpoints
and suggestions to the commanding of-
ficer. Zumwalt acknowledged the Navy
spouse to be a vital member of the Navy
Team, as per the Ombudsman Basic
Training Manual (OBTM).
The job of an ombudsman is not always
an easy one. The official job description
states, Ombudsmen are volunteers that
are part of the chain of command and
have the job of supporting the command
mission; they do this by taking care of the
families so that the service member can
focus on their job, according to the
OBTM.
Ombudsmen serve as the welcoming
committee for families that are new to the
area, providing information on the com-
munity, both inside and outside the gate,
as well as the command. In times of emer-
gency, they help families contact or relay
information to service members, provide
information and keep families up to date
on ongoing situations, most recently the
Spring Fire of Camarillo. The goal of the
Navy Family Ombudsman is to help fam-
ilies become self-reliant and resilient and
to remain flexible in todays Navy.
Every ombudsman is required to go
through 16.5 hours of basic training that
is renewed every three years. In addition,
they attend advance trainings throughout
the year.
Ombudsmen abide by a strict code of
confidentiality with the exception of the
five reportable issues. These are safety
and life-threatening issues that they are
required to report to the command, as well
as the proper authorities. These reportable
issues are: all suspected or known cases
of child abuse or neglect; alleged spouse
abuse; suspected or potential homicides;
violence or life-endangering situations;
and all suspected or potential suicidal
risks. There may be other reportable issues
identified by their commanding officers
(OPNAVINST 1750.1 G CH-1).
Many ombudsmen maintain an email
roster that they use to pass along informa-
tion about upcoming events at the com-
mands, on base and in the community.
If you would like to find out who your
command ombudsman is, please contact
Corey Kendrick, Fleet and Family Sup-
port Center ombudsman coordinator, at
805-989-1682. Contact information for
ombudsmen is also located outside the
Port Hueneme and Point Mugu Navy Ex-
changes.
If you are interested in becoming a com-
mand ombudsman, speak with your
spouse and/or their command leader-
ship.

Retired Activities Office
needs some new volunteers
CONtiNued fROm 19
By Jim Ramey
FFSC
The Tuesday, Sept. 10, Retiree Town
Hall meeting is a time when local re-
tirees can find out what services are
available to them at Naval Base Ven-
tura County and, if theyre willing,
how they can give back.
The Retired Activities Office (RAO)
at the Fleet & Family Support Center
needs volunteers.
The RAO is a pivotal link between
military retirees, local communities
and other government and non-govern-
ment agencies. It is staffed solely by
volunteers who are primarily retired
military personnel.
Its main objective is to assist other
retirees, their families, and survivors
of retirees.
Many times, just a well-directed
phone call can help a retiree whos hav-
ing a pay issue.
Or, maybe during a time of mourn-
ing, the RAO staff can provide invalu-
able information on how to process
death benefits to the surviving mem-
bers or perhaps just some comfort
and understanding during a difficult
time.
Retired
Activities
with Jim
Ramey
FFSC
With direct oversight and support from
the Fleet & Family Support Center
(FFSC), all the tools are in place make
sure the 4,600 retirees in the area plus
another 1,000 surviving spouses get
what they need from the RAO.
No experience is required, and a current
RAO volunteer will oversee the orienta-
tion and training while covering operating
procedures and instructions. With several
checklists already in place, the startup is
easy to navigate.
Anyone who can donate an hour a week
or several hours is invited to sign up at the
town hall meeting. For more information,
call 982-1023.

Family and support groups at
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) had a strong presence at
the Saturday, Aug. 24, Military &
Veteran Expo in Camarillo that
drewan estimated 1,000 veterans,
active-duty military personnel and
their families.
Family readiness groups from
Underwater Construction Team
2(UCT2) andNaval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion 4 had tables
set up, and the Chief Petty Offi-
cers Association for Carrier Air-
borne Early Warning Squadron
(VAW) 113, the Black Eagles, had
two.
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief
Society was also there, as was
FOCUS, a family support group
on base.
Ben Wilson, site director for
FOCUS at NBVC, helped orga-
nize the event as part of his work
with the Ventura County Military
Collaborative.
Last year, we had 38 tables,
and this year we had 110,he said.
We wanted to make sure people
could connect with the resources
they need sooner rather than later.
We wantedit tobe a one-stopcen-
ter, designed for people who dont
have a centralized place to get the
services they need.
Three rooms at the community
center on East Burnley Street in
Camarillo were filled with orga-
nizations giving out information
about health care, education and
job opportunities, and several dis-
plays were set upoutside featuring
military and law enforcement
equipment. A band played patri-
otic tunes.
Free lunches were given out to
the first 200 people who registered
as current or retired military per-
sonnel. Free school supplies were
given out to their children.
Wilsons table promoted several
upcoming base events, including
the Sept. 10 town hall meeting
with retirees and the Sept. 18 job
fair.
At the two Black Eagles tables,
chiefs fielded questions about the
squadrons planes, the E-2C
Hawkeyes.
People want to knowwhat we
doandwhere were from, andthey
have a lot of questions about the
24-foot rotodome, said Chief
Logistics Specialist Stanley Oth-
uru, referring to the radar equip-
ment atop the Hawkeye that gives
it its unique profile.
The BlackEagles alsosoldcoins
and T-shirts emblazoned with
their eye-catching logo.
At the UCT 2 display area,
which filled up a large corner of
the main room, divers let young-
sters try on their 28-pound hel-
mets.
People want to know what it
feels like to be inside,said Build-
er 2nd Class Justin Lieder.
Debbie McConnell chuckled as
her 11-year-old son, Connor, got
that experience.
We came tosee what was being
offered,she said, adding that her
husband, John, is a construction
mechanic-rated Seabee. Its fam-
ily time.

Youth taekwondo program expands
Nearly 50 youngsters

by Child & Youth Pro-

The season ended Fri-
day, Aug. 23, with all six
teams playing in the Bee-
hive Gym, Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
More than 20 parents
volunteered during the
season, serving as coach-
es, assistant coaches and
team parents.
Bill Horstick, a civil-
ian employee at the Cen-
ter for Seabees and Fa-
cilities Engineering at
NBVC Port Hueneme,
volunteered in Division
3, made up of 10- and
12-year-olds.
Horstick said he fo-
cused on basketball fun-
daments, teamwork and
court awareness. At
this level fundaments are
essential, he said. This
was a great group of
kids. They soaked up ev-
erything we taught them
like little sponges.
You could actually
see them improving ev-
ery game!
Greg Murray, who co-
ordinated the basketball
program for CYP,
agreed.
We had a lot of 4-
and 5-year-olds, a lot of
first-timers, he said.
We also had a lot of
good volunteer coaches.
I could see the difference
from start to finish.

career positions for military spouses, said
Kelly Coughlan, a work and family life
consultant who is coordinating the event
for the Fleet & Family Support Center.
The career fair runs from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. at Dukes, 1467 23rd Ave., between
Harris Street and Pacific Road.
In addition, several schools will attend
so they can provide information about
degree programs.
A list of the businesses and colleges
that have signed up to attend is on Face-
book at www.facebook.com/FFSC.
NBVC and on the FFSC community job
postings site, http://nbvcffscjobresources.
wordpress.com.
We are really fortunate that we have
no shortage of employers who want to
be involved in this career fair and who
have openings, Coughlan said.
Even the jobs outlook in the federal
government is looking up, she added.
The idea that the federal government
is not hiring well, thats not the case,
she said. It really is picking up, espe-
cially for veterans.
Last year at this time, the national un-
employment rate among veterans was
12.7 percent, Coughlan said. Today, its
6.3 percent.
The picture isnt as rosy for military
spouses, who still face a 10 percent un-
employment rate.
I moved three times in three years,
said Coughlan, whos married to a Seabee
diver. Its tough for military spouses.
Its hard to build a career if you have to
move like that. Ive been lucky, because
I have skills that are transferable.
The FFSCrecently revamped its spouse
employment class to emphasize employ-
ment on wheels, focusing on the most
transferable skills and educating spouses
on the careers that are the most mo-
bile.
Coughlan said 26 of 50 states have
signed on to a program that allows rec-
ognition of out-of-state certification of
military spouses in certain career fields,
such as teaching, health services and fi-
nance. California, however, is not one of
those states.
The military has also made huge strides
in preparing active-duty personnel for
civilian careers, Coughlan said. Transi-
tion programs are now mandatory, and
there is a separate track for those who
want to pursue higher education. The
classes are being taken one to two years
out, and many are taking themmore than
once.
The bottom line, Coughlan said, is that
more and more people are seeing the
military as the perfect job-training site.
A lot of folks doing the hiring these
days view the military as a positive ex-
perience, Coughlan said.
he got a crew together.
We always want to help out the team,
said Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Tan-
isha Williams. You help every moment
you can.
As Master at Arms 1st Class Dennis
Lang used spray paint to give the basket-
ball hoops a fresh coat of orange, Boat-
swains Mate 2nd Class Gustavo Benavides
and Culinary Specialist 1st Class Timothy
Marquis used a smart phone to get the
correct dimensions for the backboard
markings off Google, then created the 18-
by-24-inch stencil.
Other Sailors tidied up earlier stencil
work throughout the school, which boasts
street signs on walls with names like
Respect Road and Fairness Fairway.
Campos said that if Parsons needs more
help during the year, all she has to do is
call.
Well probably come back if she has
more projects, he said.
