In 2001, Ryan Delgado pinned
anchors on Robert Delgado, sig-
nifying his fathers promotion to
chief petty officer.
Twelve years later, his father
returned the favor.
Ryan Delgado, a builder with
Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion 4, was one of 55 Sailors
taking part in the Chief Petty Of-
ficer Pinning Ceremony at 10
a.m. Friday, Sept. 13, in Hangar
34 at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Point Mugu.
Im on the top of the world!
Robert Delgado, whos now re-
tired fromthe U.S. Coast Guard,
said as he waited nearly an hour
for his son to finish shaking hands
with fellow chiefs and Sailors.
The ceremony took place in
front of a massive flag and was
witnessed by hundreds of family
members and khaki-clad Sail-
55 promoted to chief petty officer at NBVC

Question: I heard a rumor that the base is consid-
ering cutting chapel services at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Point Mugu. Is it true? Why would
you cut spiritual services to such a large portion of
our families?
Answer: Thank you for the opportunity to address
this issue. As the fscal belt has tightened over the
past year, we have taken a hard look at the services
we offer and how theyre being used. Gym classes,
galley utilization and chapel attendance are just a
few of the many areas examined.
We are assessing the usage of the chapel at Point
Mugu. On average, fewer than 50 people a week
attend religious services there. The Seabee Chapel
at Port Hueneme, on the other hand, sees four to fve
times as many people on Sunday alone.
We want to provide for our Sailors and families
spiritual needs, but with limited funds, we have to
maximize our resources. From the outside looking
in, we are one installation and need to justify why we
need two chapels.
Ive said it before: Vote with your feet. If you want
to keep a service, use it. When we are forced to make
critical budget decisions, underutilized services are
the frst to be considered for elimination. Religious
services are critical to supporting Fleet, Fighter and
Family, but if one chapel is not being patronized, it
may be closed to conserve our limited fnancial and
personnel resources and concentrate on the more
heavily attended chapel.
Keep the questions and feedback coming! You
can submit via this forum at lighthouse@navy.mil,
online using the COs Suggestion Box at http://cnic.
navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.
com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow
us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia
and keep up on the latest news and events.
Why would the Navy even think of closing a chapel?w

The first Retiree Town Hall
meeting at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) drewabout 75
people Tuesday night, Sept. 10
and an assurance frombase
officials that it wont be the
last.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, com-
manding officer of NBVC, told
the audience that he wanted
more meetings like this inau-
gural session, and Laura Ham-
ilton, director of the Fleet &
Family Support Center, echoed
that.
We hope to continue to have
these and expand on them,she
said. We know now from the
turnout that people need this
information and want it.
In addition to Vasquez pro-
viding an update on the status
of the base We are grow-
ing, he said speakers from
Veterans Affairs and TRI-
CARE gave a rundown of up-
coming changes to their pro-
grams and fielded dozens of
questions.
Presentations were also made
by representatives of the Re-
tired Activities Office (RAO)
on base; Personnel Support
Detachment (PSD); Morale,
Welfare and Recreation
(MWR); the commissary; and
Religious Ministries.
Several retirees who attended
said they found the presenta-
tions helpful.
I think this was very, very
worthwhile on two fronts: the
amount of information thats
getting put out, and the poten-
tial to create a community of
retirees, said Bob Brunner, a
retired Navy captain who lives
in the Westlake Village-Thou-
sand Oaks area. This has been
a very useful meeting.
Dorothy Bearss called the
meeting a positive thing.
I think its a great idea thats
long overdue, she said.
JimRamey, who oversees the
RAO, said the meeting was
called to address the many
changes taking place in todays
Navy and the uncertainty many
retirees are feeling in todays
economy, especially as it relates
to the Department of De-
fense.
Vasquez put many at ease by
explaining that NBVCis poised
for growth over the next sev-

Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jim Thi-
me with the Naval Branch Health Clinic
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
vividly recalls his deployment to Afghan-
istan and Kuwait.
In the summer, you crave salty stuff,
he said.
So when he saw the snack foods piled
atop tables at a local insurance business,
ready to be packed up into 50 boxes, he
knew the troops on the receiving end
would be happy.
Muscle Milk? he asked, looking at a
plastic bag containing a carton and other
goodies. I never got that!
Thime and a handful of other Sailors
fromNBVCspent the morning of Thurs-
day, Sept. 5, in the Camarillo office of
Mercury Insurance, helping stuff the
boxes with crackers, cookies, candies,
crossword puzzles, note paper, even flip-
flops.
The Soldier Pack Party to commemo-
rate Sept. 11 is the brainchild of admin-
istrative underwriter Monica Nungaray,
who decided on it five years ago as a way
to honor her two sons in the U.S. Marine
Corps and those who serve overseas. One
son is still on active duty at Marine Corps
Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine
Palms; the other is a veteran living in the
San Fernando Valley.
I wanted to send things from home

Twenty ombudsmen who volunteer
their time to serve as the liaison be-
tween families and commands were
honored Tuesday, Sept. 10, during an
annual luncheon at the Bard Man-
sion, Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
The ombudsman position was cre-
ated 43 years ago to keep families
informed of command news and to
keep commanding officers up to date
on issues and morale.
You are that critical link, said
Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC com-
manding officer.
Ombudsmen also serve as the go
tofor families, especially during de-
ployments when the Sailor cant or
shouldnt be contacted.
Major appliances and vehicles
when they start to break down,
youre there to help with that,
Vasquez said.
As Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Han, com-
mand chaplain, noted in his invoca-
tion, the ombudsman is always there,
lending a hand on the first deploy-
ment and holding a hand during a
family crisis.
Corey Kendrick, who coordinates
the ombudsman program for the
Fleet & Family Support Center, has
served as an ombudsman in the
past.
Ive been there,she said. Youre
taking care of your own families, and
youre finding ways to make sure
other families are taken care of, too.
You are truly appreciated.
Among the commands at NBVC
honoring their ombudsmen some
commands have more than one
were all three Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalions; all four Carrier
Airborne Early Warning Squadrons;
the 30th Naval Construction Regi-
ment; Naval Construction Group 1;
Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,
Detachment Point Mugu; the Naval
Construction Training Center; Naval
Surface Warfare Center, Port Huen-
eme Division; Underwater Construc-
tion Team2; Fleet Logistics Support
Squadron (VR) 55; and Air Test and
Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30.
One by one, Kendrick called out
each command, and top officers es-
corted the ombudsmen to the stage,
where they gave them bouquets and
gifts.
Its like Christmas!one ombuds-
man said.
Some of the officers told how om-
budsmen made their jobs easier, es-
pecially when it came to fending off
family crises during deployments;
others noted individual accomplish-
ments, like setting up a Facebook
page to keep families up to date and
creating a command cookbook.
Vasquez commented that ombuds-
men are like 4-1-1 and 9-1-1 all
wrapped into one.
We cant say thank you enough,
he told them.

Almost every afternoon or evening for
most students and parents includes
homework.
For some students, homework is an
easy task. However, for some students
and parents it can be a dreaded
part of the day.
Do you ever wonder why students
must do homework?
Youre not alone.
Homework is intended to reinforce
skills and concepts learned during the
school day. It also provides extra prac-
tice and helps students to reflect on how
much theyve learned.
Homework is often used by a teacher
to assess what a child knows. This is one
reason why its important for parents to
allow students to do their own home-
work. Parents can certainly ensure that
homework is done, and they can review
mistakes, but they must allow the stu-
dents to complete it on their own.
The amount and the kind of home-
work varies from teacher to teacher and
school to school. Some students will not
get homework until the second grade;
others will start in kindergarten.
Long-term projects are usually as-
signed at least once a year. Typically,
there will be room for the parents to as-
sist and support, and parents can ensure
that the student understands the require-
ments for the project and that the stu-
dent has the necessary supplies and re-
sources. But parents should not be doing
these projects for their students.
Most parents want students to com-
plete homework before doing anything
else. For some students, this is best, but
some students need a break, and they
will probably complete their work more
quickly and more correctly if
given time to rest before getting start-
ed.
Keep in mind this is their homework,
not yours. You can be available to help
if needed, but its best to not hover. Let
them ask for help.
Some parents might find that home-
work time is a good time to sit by and
read a book or pay bills. Or, maybe they
can have the students work near the
kitchen while dinner is being made. This
allows them to ask for help when need-
ed.
Some students might need complete
quiet. For them, it might be best to work
in a separate room with an occasional
check-in from a parent.
Any type of media that can draw the
students attention away from homework
should be turned off. Music in the back-
ground might be helpful; however, the
students favorite TV show will surely
get more attention than the math home-
work.
If your student is struggling consis-
tently with homework, let the teacher
know. If a parent helps with an assign-
ment, write With parent help on the
top. Its important that the teacher
knows how the student is doing and
what the student might still need help
with.
For older students, there are some on-
line resources available to help with the
homework process. Here are a few:
www.tutor.com/military: Free online
tutoring for military families.
www.khanacademy.org: Offers more
than 2,400 free videos from arithmetic
to physics and finance.
www.soarathome.org: An assessment
aligned to state standards that can direct
students to individualized tutorials to
improve skills where needed.

As any golfer knows, fewthings can shake
your confidence like a bad round of golf.
Somehow, great moments from past golfing
glory slip fromyour memory and an abomi-
nablescorethat youproducedhangs over you
like a fog.
After a few bad strokes, one questions ev-
erything. Alignment, gripandbackswingseem
suspect, whichusuallyleads toworse contact
and more frustration. The beautiful scenery
of the course morphs into a crucible of sand
traps, water hazards and scratch golfers that
are waiting to tee off behind you.
Asmanygolferssay, thegameteachesabout
lifeandviceversa. Youneedconfidenceto
regainyour composureafter badmoments in
golf and tee off on the next hole with enthu-
siasm.
Confidenceplays ahugeroleinhowwelive
ourdailylives. Consciouslyandsubconscious-
ly, we choose friends, careers, spouses and
clothing based on some level of confidence
we get from our choice. When our decisions
producetheresults weenvisioned, confidence
elevates, and the world seems safe and pleas-
ant. Yet, when our goals fall short and life
plans change, we question ourselves. Lifes
obstaclesstandout, andthosewithconfidence
seem taller, better-looking and overall more
successful.
You gain confidence by playing to your
strengths. There exists anuntappedsource of
confidenceineveryperson. Nooneis great at
everything, but everyone is really good at
something. And mastering the one or two
things youre goodat canmake youextreme-
ly confident in areas with which you strug-
gle.
Toextendthegolfinganalogy, somepeople
exude confidence on the short grass. They
know that if they can just reach the green,
puttingwill benoproblem. Theabilitytoplay
tothis strengthallows themtoovercometheir
deficiencies and enjoy the game.
We donot gainconfidence by comparison
but by appreciating our own uniqueness. In
essence, playing to your God-given strengths
allowsustoovercomeproblemsandenjoyour
lives.
The Bible states that you were uniquely
madebyGod. Realizingthis truth, thepsalm-
ist writes, I praise youbecause youmade me
in an amazing and wonderful way Psalm
139:14 (NCV).
When you consider your uniqueness, re-
member the purpose God gave you when he
designedyou. What youare goodat, or what
comes naturally to you, often points to the
purpose he designed you for.
For example, most people admire golfers
whosmoothlyswingthedriver, launchingthe
ball 350 yards off the tee. However, even the
best driver in the world cannot create loft
neededtoelevateaball lyingflat ontheground
for a short distance when approaching the
green. Similarly, youreffectivenessinlifecomes
fromaligning to your custompurpose.
To understand this purpose, I recommend
spendingtimewiththeonewhodesignedyou.
Whenyouembrace howGodmade youand
master the things that youare naturallygood
at, your confidenceskyrockets just as every
club produces maximum effectiveness when
swung according to design. By design, you
were createdtolive inrelationshipwithHim.
This relationshipaligns your life tothe target
he planned for you to reach, and when you
adjust your life accordingly, the results gobe-
yond description.
If youre like me, you find all the wrong
places to hit the ball. On and off the course I
have experienced some real blunders. But re-
gardless of past or possible future failures,
confidence in life comes fromGod.
Godis your greatest strength. Livinginthe
assuranceof thisrealitybringsjoyandelevates
you to the top of your game, no matter the
score.
Play to your strengths; God is your greatest strength of all

Some of the youngest Sailors in the
Navy spent a recent Saturday cleaning
up a piece of history half a century old-
er than they are and destined to become
a museum artifact.
Eight students at the Naval Construc-
tion Training Center (NCTC) at Naval
Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme,
traveled with Chief Steelworker Steve
Nelsen to a ranch in Santa Paula where
they washed down a 73-year-old movie
theater marquee that will become part of
a World War II homefront exhibit at the
Seabee Museum.
The students are in the Construction
Mechanic A-School, their first stop after
boot camp.
This is important, Construction Me-
chanic Construction Recruit Andrew
Schaefer said. My grandpa was in the
Air Force in World War II. Immore than
happy to work on this project. This mar-
quee will look fabulous when its all lit
up. Its going to be really nice.
The marquee was part of the Mayfair,
a downtown Ventura theater built in
1940, the year before Pearl Harbor was
bombed and the United States entered
World War II.
The theater burned in 2000 and was
razed in 2004, but the marquee was
spared and has spent the last decade in
an otherwise empty lot. A group of re-
tired Seabees arranged to have it donated
to the museum and is paying for what-
ever restoration cant be done by volun-
teers.
Last month, the marquee was moved
to Santa Paula for the power wash. It was
then hauled to the back of the museum
where it now sits, awaiting repairs. It can
be seen from Ventura Road.
Before the power wash, while Schaefer
unscrewed old lightbulbs, others reached
into crevices and pulled out old leaves,
dirt and a few other things, including two
dead birds and a mummified rodent.
Nelsen said all NCTC students are re-
quired to complete 16 hours of commu-
nity service.
Construction Mechanic Construction
Recruit Keegan Kilgore said he was eager
to work on a project involving a piece of
history.
I like history, and I love old mar-
quees,he said, noting that his hometown
of Anchorage has an old movie theater
thats been refurbished. I want to do my
part to get this baby all fixed up and look-
ing nice for the Seabee Museum.
Several of the students said they looked
forward to the day years from now when
they could walk into the Seabee Museum
with their families, show them the mar-
quee and tell them theyd worked on it.
I think this is something a lot of peo-
ple will go see, said Construction Me-
chanic Constructionman Dakota Ramus.
Im glad were able to help return this
to the community.

CMCN John Ecklund power washes the 73-
year-old marquee of the Mayfair Theater,
which will become part of an exhibit at the
Seabee Museum. Ecklund was one of several
students from the Naval Construction
Training Center who volunteered to help
clean up the marquee Saturday, Sept. 7.
The Navy Seabee Veterans of America
Island X-7 is collecting donations for the
Mayfair Theater marquee restoration. A
collection box is in the Seabee Museum
gift shop. Checks made out to the
NSVA Island X-7 Museum Fund can be
mailed to Pete Magoon, NSVA Island X-7
secretary-treasurer, 188 Camelia Way,
Ventura, 93004.

NMCB 3
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 kicked off a historic Seabee
Combat Warfare (SCW) training academy
Monday, Sept. 9, for all troops stationed
in Okinawa, Japan.
The new program will provide more
than 300 main-body Seabees with all re-
quired classroom and practical training
needed for their SCWqualification in just
three weeks a process that typically
took up to one year.
According toNMCB3s SCWcoordina-
tor, Steelworker 1st Class Ephraim Fon-
seca, the SCW program provides Seabees
with the skills and abilities needed to en-
sure each expeditionary Sailor is a com-
petent warfighter, ready to operate for-
ward.
Our job takes us to remote areas across
the world,Fonseca said. We are ordered
to build critical construction projects in
combat zones, provide humanitarian as-
sistance and disaster relief to communities
devastated by natural disaster and then,
if needed, defend those efforts against any
kind of threat.
To provide these capabilities and com-
plete these missions, NMCB 3 Seabees
may have to conduct their own convoy
operations while operating myriad weap-
ons systems, including small arms, belt-fed
machine guns and grenade or rocket
launchers.
Currently, NMCB 3 Seabees are build-
ing schools and community centers, re-
pairing roads and digging wells through-
out the Pacific Region in areas such as
Cambodia, the Philippines, Timor-Leste,
Tonga and the Republic of Korea.
All of the skill sets learned from the
SCW program support our tactical mis-
sion, said Senior Chief Builder Stephen
Stran. You can pull any section of the
programand apply it to any of our current
missions here in the Pacific Region, so as
expeditionary warfighters who are forward
deployed, it helps ensure we are ready for
anything we may need to do.
The SCW academy covers 15 topics on
Seabee missions and capabilities through
book work and hands-on exercises. At the
end of each topic, there is a test each Sea-
bee must pass to gain credit for that sub-
ject. Topics include tactical operations,
construction, basic Navy history and the
Seabee ethos.
The classroom material is applied in
a field training exercise (FTX), bringing
everything into perspective. This is nec-
essary before the qualification can be
granted, so students who have not had
the chance to complete an FTX can
participate in a similar exercise while in
Japan. The Jungle Warfare Training
Course (JWTC) is equivalent to an FTX
and counts towards SCW qualifications.
JWTC is an expert lesson that teaches
Seabees how to build and fight in dense
jungle conditions.
Without an SCW pin, a Seabee is not
a bona fide Seabee you need that pin
in our community, Fonseca said.
Junior Seabee warfighters are taught
early in their career that an SCW desig-
nator lends credibility and professional-
ism to their uniform.
Construction Electrician Construc-
tionman Kayla Anderson has been
working on her SCW qualification near-
ly a year. She has completed nearly all
required training and is excited to see
others gain the knowledge needed to join
her at the finish line.
All thats left is a few more classes,
my final test and a board, said Ander-
son. Its nice to know that my friends
will be able to get through the process
quicker, and well all be at the same pro-
fessional level. Its a big step in every
Seabees career and something we chase
after from the second we get to the bat-
talion.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 3s Civic Construction Ac-
tion Detail (CCAD) in Chinhae, Republic of
Korea, spent three days last month on a con-
struction project with their ROK counter-
parts.
Three Seabees and three senior ROK engi-
neers teamed up Aug. 24-26 to install a drain-
age ditch along a major service road aboard
Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae.
The small but critical teambuilding operation
was part of Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG)
2013, an annual joint forces exercise conduct-
ed across the Korean peninsula that incorpo-
rates more than 3,000 personnel from the U.S.
and bases in the Pacific region.
According to ROK engineer, Lt. j.g. Chae
Kang Wook, the event served as a positive first
impression.
This is my first time working alongside Sea-
bees,Wook said. We utilize some of the same
[construction] methods to accomplish goals
when approaching a project like this. Im im-
pressed with how relaxed they seem and how
much fun they have while still getting the job
done.
Despite language barriers, a shared, focused
work ethic united the team and made the proj-
ect a success.
Whenever you can complete a complicated
project without even speaking the same lan-
guage, you know youve just experienced a
wonderful thing, said Builder 3rd Class Jacob
Thacker.

Six volunteers fromNaval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 3s Cambo-
dia Civic Construction Action Detail
(CCAD) built benches for a nearby chil-
drens home Saturday, Sept. 7.
The benches will provide more than 200
children living at the home an area other
than the concrete floor to sit, learn and
read books.
Building these benches was a small ef-
fort on our part, but it made a huge impact
on the children living at the home, said
the CCAD officer in charge, Lt. Luke
Feist. We are here to improve the social
welfare of this country. Each smile, added
comfort or anything we can do to simply
make life better for the Cambodians is
both something expected of us as Seabees
and a truly meaningful use of our
skills.
The Cambodia teamis tasked with drill-
ing wells across different areas of the
country to provide local Cambodians with
water for drinking and irrigation.
I am so honored to take part in this
project,said the CCADs project coordi-
nator, Steelworker 2nd Class Jerry Casi-
quin. It has always been a dreamof mine
since joining a dream to help people
who honestly need it. To see the expression
of gratitude on their face when all I did
was do my job and make a bench this
is why I enjoy deployments.
Childrens home in Cambodia
gets assistance from Seabees

NMCB 3
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 3s Civic Con-
struction Action Detail (CCAD) in Timor-
Leste volunteered their time Sunday, Aug.
10, to teach English to students at the
Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosae
in Dili.
The class, run by Greg Fergin, husband
of U.S. Ambassador to Timor-Leste Ju-
dith Fergin, meets weekly on the univer-
sitys campus.
Seabees helped Fergin by separating the
students in groups to perform two-hour
exercises covering topical conversations,
sentence-building techniques and how to
develop a story based on a series of pic-
tures.
According to Fergin, this gave the stu-
dents more one-on-one interaction and
helped them learn more efficiently.
There is an inexhaustible demand of
Timorese people wanting to learn Eng-
lish, said Fergin, who has managed the
English programfor more than two years.
Seeing students succeeding is my satisfac-
tion.
The class is provided at no cost using
an all-volunteer instructing staff and is
open to anyone.
Seabees make a great contribution to
Timor,said Fergin. They help show the
Timorese howa military unit can contrib-
ute to civil affairs and be great ambassa-
dors. We always need teachers, and the
Seabees are great because the students get
to hear different accents and gain exposure
to a variety of cultures, which enhances
their learning experience.

Annual doses of influenza vaccine will
be available at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty over the next few months. Look for
announcements in the Lighthouse, mar-
quee signs on base and flyers posted at the
commissary and Navy Exchanges.
Here is some information about the flu
vaccine fromthe Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention:
Routine annual influenza vaccination
is recommended for all persons 6 months
and older. To permit time for production
of protective antibody levels, vaccination
should occur before a flu outbreak takes
place in the community, and providers
should offer vaccination as soon as the
vaccine is available. Vaccination also
should continue to be offered throughout
the flu season.
Flu vaccines are designed to protect
against three influenza viruses that experts
predict will be the most common during
the upcoming season. Three kinds of in-
fluenza viruses commonly circulate among
people today: influenza A (H1N1) virus-
es, influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and influ-
enza B viruses. The 2013-14 U.S. season-
al influenza vaccine virus strains are
identical to those contained in the 2012-13
vaccine. Check the CDC website at www.
CDC.gov or www.Flu.gov for additional
information.
While everyone 6 months and older
should get a flu vaccine each flu season,
its especially important that the following
groups get vaccinated either because they
are at high risk of having serious flu-re-
lated complications or because they live
with or care for people at high risk for
developing flu-related complications:
Pregnant women.
Children younger than 5 (very impor-
tant for those younger than 2).
People 50 and older.
People of any age with certain chron-
ic medical conditions.
People who live in nursing homes and
other long-term care facilities.
People who live with or care for those
at high risk for complications from flu,
including health care workers, household
contacts of persons at high risk for com-
plications from the flu and household
contacts and out-of-home caregivers of
children less than 6 months of age, as these
children are too young to be vaccinated.
For any questions or concerns please
call the Preventive Medicine Division at
805-982-6358, the Occupational and En-
vironmental Health Department at 805-
982-6434 or the Naval Branch Health
Clinic Port Hueneme at 805-982-6321.
Flu vaccinations available on base soon
Waterfowl season begins Oct. 19.
Blind assignments for opening day
will be Wednesday, Oct. 16, instead
of the usual Monday prior.
Before hunting on base, each in-
dividual must take a test on Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) base
regulations, a species IDtest, pay an
annual fee, register their shotguns
and fill out a DD Form 2760.
The test will be administered at
noon Wednesday, Oct. 2, and Thurs-
day, Oct 10., in the conference room
of Bldg. 632, in the southwest corner
of the building. Registration forms
and DD Form 2760 will also be
available. Shotgun make, model and
serial number are required on the
registration form.
Additional information may be
obtained from the Waterfowl Com-
mittee information line at 890-7245
or on the website at https://www.
cnic.navy.mil/Ventura/, search for
waterfowl hunting.

ors. Among them was Pearl Harbor survivor
and World War II veteran Leonard Jarvis, who
came from Chula Vista to watch the promotion
of his grandson, Jesus Torres of the Civil En-
gineer Corps Officers School, to chief construc-
tion electrician.
Its awesome, Ill tell you, said the retired
shipfitter, who was pinned a chief petty officer
56 years ago. Its a whole different Navy than
what I came up with.
But the pinning ceremony itself is a time-
honored tradition in the Navy. Chiefs select
stand in front of the audience as speeches are
given, then a sponsor dons the cover on the
chief select, and a family member or mentor
pins the fouled anchors on the collar.
Emotions often run high for all parties in-
volved, as new inductee Chief Builder Travis
Peppers discovered when tears ran down his
cheeks.
I was thinking about my father, he ex-
plained later. He lives in Alabama and he re-
ally wanted to come out here, but hes real
sick.
Among those who spoke before the pinning
were commanding officer of Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Capt. Larry Vasquez, and retired
Force Master Chief David Pennington.
No other word says I get stuff done than
the term chief, Vasquez told the group. You
are the backbone of the Navy.
Pennington, who comes to the base frequent-
ly through his work with the Navys wounded
warrior program, urged the chiefs select to
carry on the tradition of leadership.
You are in a position of power and influ-
ence, he told them. Know your Sailors. Grow
your Sailors.
He advised them to remain accessible, to find
a balance between their work and their family
life, to avoid micromanaging.
Let your values be your guide, he told
them.
The ceremony and the weeks of training
that led to the actual promotion proved to
be too much for Grace Wolf. The 16-month-old
daughter of Jamie and Chief Electronics Tech-
nician Adam Wolf fell asleep in her stroller
before all of it was over.
Its been a long six weeks, Jamie Wolf
said.
Adam Wolfs father, Jeff, agreed.
Im proud and relieved, he said. And Im
very happy very, very happy.

Who received their anchors
By BUCN Laine Pulfer
NMCB 3
OKINAWA, Japan Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 cel-
ebrated the promotions of nine newly inducted chief petty officers (CPOs)
during one of the Navys most time-honored ceremonies Sept. 13 at Camp
Foster, Okinawa, Japan a location that for more than 70 years has seen Navy
Seabees don gold fouled anchors.
The new Seabee chiefs were joined by nine other newly promoted chiefs from
the U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa and the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force
(MEF) during the official CPO Pinning Ceremony.
Command Master Chief David Jones, assigned to 3rd MEF, said the new
chiefs transformed from service members once focused mostly on self to deck-
plate leaders belonging to a Navywide family.
They now understand the importance of a team and what it means to belong
to the CPO Mess, Jones said. During CPO 365 Phase 2, they learn that their
new Mess is a resource library. There have been many days when you think
to yourself, as a chief, that this is the worst day of my life. Then, you go to the
Mess, talk to your fellow chiefs and see miracles happen.
Four weeks ago, each chief began a rigorous training schedule involving
physical training, leadership, teamwork, time management and naval heri-
tage.
More than 120 years since the rank was established, promoting to chief is
still regarded as the most significant advancement in an enlisted persons career.
The rank of CPO is a dual role a technical expert and deckplate leader.
Chief Petty Officer 365 Phase 2 is the modern training course that all new
chiefs experience before receiving their anchor collar device.
According to NMCB 3 Command Master Chief Joseph Arnold, the training
inspires a shift in professional appearance and responsibility.
Its a tough process, Arnold said. The training is extensive, and they use
a lot of their own time. Theres a noticeable change after CPO 365 Phase 2;
they stand a little taller, with their chest out a little farther, while having a dif-
ferent sense of pride. They know they made the transformation from being
junior enlisted to senior enlisted. Now its about taking care of the junior
troops.

NAVFAC EXWC
The annual Combined Federal Cam-
paign (CFC) has kicked off, and now is
the time to support some of the 2,000
national and local charities accessible
through the 2013 California Gold Coast
CFC.
The CFC is the largest and most suc-
cessful workplace fundraising campaign
in the world. Over the past 52 years, the
CFC has raised $7 billion to help neigh-
bors in need around the corner, across
the nation and throughout the world.
This years chairman of the California
Gold Coast CFC is Capt. Mark K. Edel-
son, commanding officer of the Naval
Facilities Engineering and Expedition-
ary Warfare Center (NAVFAC
EXWC).
Here are the top 10 reasons to support
the campaign:
10: Its healthy! Give up a trip for
that morning coffee and donut each
week and donate that amount to CFC.
The feeling of satisfaction from giving
and the reduction in calories will make
you healthier and happier.
9: Its educational! The charity book-
let provides you the opportunity to learn
about the meaningful accomplishments
of the charities you can choose to sup-
port.
8: Its fun! The campaign provides
opportunities to enjoy both campaign-
and command-level events.
7: Its about family! The CFC pro-
vides you the opportunity to contribute
to those charities that help children,
veterans, senior citizens, coworkers and
others you know and admire.
6: Its about choices! You get to
choose the charities and programs you
want to support. You choose how much
to give. You choose how to give: cash,
check or payroll deduction.
5: Its teamwork! A sizeable network
of volunteers works closely together to
provide every federal employee the op-
portunity to contribute.
4: Its green! You can go on line at
www.cfcgoldcoast.org and learn about
the campaign, research charities and
contribute.
3: Its easy! Your keyworker will
come to you and provide you all the in-
formation.
2: It is tax-deductible! You money
helps non-profit charities while provid-
ing you a tax deduction.
1: It feels good! Nothing feels as
good as helping others regardless of the
amount contributed.
Top 10 reasons to contribute to CFC
Cmdr. Scott Loeschke, the chief staff
officer of Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC), has joined the Workforce Invest-
ment Board (WIB) of Ventura County.
Appointed by the Ventura County
Board of Supervisors to a two-year term
as a WIBmember, Loeschke will represent
the base as it strives to be an active part
of the countywide effort to develop and
maintain a capable and productive work-
force.
It is in the combined best interests of
the naval base and the WIB to have a
strong regional economy, workforce and
community, Loeschke said. The naval
base is the countys largest employer and
has an approximately $1.9 billion impact
on the local economy.
NBVC supports approximately 80 ten-
ant commands, employing 19,000 peo-
ple.
Loeschke said he looks forward to work-
ing with the WIB on youth initiatives,
especially those related to STEM(science,
technology, engineering and mathematics)
programs. NBVCoffers training, mentor-
ing and internships as part of its ongoing
youth outreach. Many of the commands
across the base support elementary, mid-
dle and high school education,Loeschke
said. We have several outreach programs
that bring high school students to the base,
where they are exposed to and learn skills
that they can apply to future jobs.
Loeschke said he is also interested in
helping with veterans employment op-
portunities.
Our relationship with NBVC is very
important, said Cheryl Moore, WIB ex-
ecutive director. The bases involvement
with the WIBand the community provides
new ways to strengthen and diversify our
local economy and workforce that would
not be available otherwise. The energy,
experience and expertise that Cmdr. Loe-
schke brings to the WIB will be great as-
sets.
Members of the WIB include leaders
from business, economic development,
education, labor, government and com-
munity-based organizations.

show, Justified.
Ride to the Flags, sponsored each year by the
White Heart Foundation, serves as a tribute to
those who died Sept. 11, 2001. The 12th anniver-
sary of the terrorist attacks was commemorated
Saturday with a wreath-laying at the 9/11 memo-
rial across from Building 1, a 21-gun salute, the
playing of taps and a civilian flyover. Afterwards,
the several hundred motorcyclists who attended
the kickoff ceremony took off through the Las
Posas Gate for the ride to Pepperdine, where 2,977
flags were flying in honor of the innocent victims
who died Sept. 11.
Among the speakers at the kickoff ceremony was
Capt. Larry Vasquez, the commanding officer of
NBVC. He told the crowd that while many think
the jet noise heard frequently at the base equates
to the sound of freedom, theres nothing like 800
or 900 motorcycles to really signify the sound of
freedom.
In an earlier interview, he noted that while se-
questration had forced the cancellation of many
base events, Ride to the Flags was too important
to lose.
This is one of the most significant community
events we do, he said. This 9/11 event is always
something that should be conducted so we
never forget.
Cmdr. Jim Brown, public works officer for
NBVC, served as master of ceremonies. Lt. Lesa
Welliver, staff chaplain, gave the invocation and
benediction, and Equipment Operator 3rd Class
Susie McCartney of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 4 sang the National Anthem, no easy
feat with Pink sharing the stage.
One of the most emotional moments of the
morning came with the introduction of Marine
Sgt. James Carey, this years honoree and White
Heart Foundation beneficiary. In 2009, during a
water reconnaissance training mission at Camp
Pendleton, Carey almost drowned and suffered
significant brain damage as a result. Now blind
and severely disabled, he made his way up the steps
and across the stage to huge applause with
Sailors helping him move his legs. He spoke brief-
ly, thanking the crowd for supporting him.
I am greatly honored, he said.
Pink, who did not address the crowd, served as
the grand marshal of the ride. Her father is a vet-
eran of the VietnamWar, and one of her songs, I
Have Seen the Rain,which she has performed with
her father, deals with the aftermath of the war.
Before the ceremony began, the singer, whose
real name is Alecia Beth Moore, signed dozens of
autographs and posed for photos with everyone
from Vietnam veterans to newly pinned chiefs to
babies.
One of the many youngsters who walked away
happy was Madison Schwatka. The 8-year-old
daughter of Katrina and Chief Aviation Electri-
cians Mate Charles Schwatka of Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 112 had dyed her
hair pink for the event and brought a photo of Pink
printed out in you guessed it pink ink.
Pink signed it and added, To Madison.
Mom, whod been standing next to Madison,
was thrilled, too.
I got a hug! she said.

NBVC Public Affairs
Sept. 11, 2013, dawned cool
and misty at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu, but by 8 a.m. the skies
were clearing, allowing the sun
to light up the U.S. flag as it was
raised to half-mast in honor of
those who fell 12 years before
when terrorists attacked the
United States in New York and
Washington, D.C., and when
their efforts were thwarted
above Pennsylvania.
Hoisting the flag every morn-
ing is part of the regular routine
for Sailors on the quarterdeck
at NBVCs headquarters build-
ing. Raising the flag on Sept.
11, however, is something spe-
cial.
In memory of all the inno-
cent men, women and children
that had passed away during the
September 11, 2001, terrorist
attack, raising the colors today
was a great experience and hon-
or, said Utilitiesman 3rd Class
(SCW) Halzton Verdida, who,
with Equipment Operator 3rd
Class Emanuel Fletcher, had
responsibility for the colors that
morning.
Helping Verdida and Fletcher
honor the flag that Wednesday
morning were Sailors and De-
partment of Defense civilians
from the Air Test and Evalua-
tion Squadron (VX) 30, home-
ported at NBVC Point Mugu.
It was simply something the
command thought was appro-
priate and suitable for honoring
those we lost on 9/11, said
Cmdr. Sam Hanaki, VX-30s
chief test pilot. I grew up in
New York City, so I have very
strong emotions connected with
this day.
Cmdr. Thomas Santomauro,
VX-30s commanding officer,
asked the squadron to not only
remember those lost in the at-
tacks, but to reflect on how that
day has shaped all the days
since, both personally and pro-
fessionally.
Most of the squadron were
teenagers a dozen years ago,
others were younger, and some
were already serving, Santo-
mauro said. All of us experi-
enced the tragic events that day
. I asked the squadron to har-
ness that and take the time to
remember how it affected
them.
Later that afternoon, VX-30
agreed to fly NBVCs 9/11 me-
morial flag during a mission in
Bloodhound-403, a KC-130F
Hercules. The crew hoisted the
flag inside the cargo bay of the
Hercules while supporting air-
to-air refueling of the F-35B
Lighting II aircraft, which was
conducting operations in the
Point Mugu Sea Test Range.
When the Hercules landed,
the memorial flag was raised
once again atop of the plane as
it taxied in at Hangar 372.
NBVCs 9/11 memorial flag
was first flown over the Penta-
gon on Aug. 14, 2002, in mem-
ory of the fallen, and it flew for
the first time at NBVC Port
Hueneme during the 9/11 ob-
servance Sept. 11, 2002. It was
raised again to mark the five-
year anniversary of the attacks
and has been displayed in other
base 9/11 events.

comfort stuff, she explained. This
way, they know were thinking of them.
She has been amazed by howthe project
has taken off.
Oh my gosh!she said. Its been over-
whelming, the support weve received from
co-workers, body shops, agents. People
want to do anything they can to send com-
fort from home and let them know we
havent forgotten.
This year, 12 companies took part in
the project.
Assistance from the Sailors was coor-
dinated by Legalman 1st Class Monica
Voce of the Region Legal Service Office
at NBVC Port Hueneme.
When they called, I thought it was an
awesome opportunity to do something
with the community,Voce said. My hus-
band was stationed overseas, and getting
care packages to him wasnt cheap. Its
nice theyve been doing this the last five
years; had I known, Id have been here.
Care packages
head overseas
Continued from 3
eral years, especially as the Navy shifts
its resources to the Pacific.
The Navy is investing heavily in two
areas, he said: unmanned aerial vehi-
cles known to many as drones
and littoral combat ships (LCS), which
have a common hull but interchange-
able modules, so they can be adapted
to a wide variety of missions.
NBVC Point Mugu, Vasquez said,
is quickly becoming the hub for un-
manned systems for the Navy on the
West Coast.
And at NBVC Port Hueneme, the
Naval Surface Warfare Center is the
maintenance facility for all LCS mis-
sion modules on the West Coast, he
said.
In addition, the Coast Guard is con-
sidering expanding its presence in Ven-
tura County.
He told the retirees to expect an in-
flux of missions and people to
NBVC.
Word is getting out on what used
to be Sleepy Hollow, he said. We are
getting a lot more attention.
When Vasquez opened it up for ques-
tions, the retirees focused on more im-
mediate issues. Stung by class cuts at
the Bee-Fit Wellness Center and the
temporary one-day-a-week closure at
the commissary due to the now-lifted
furlough, they wanted to know if more
services would be reduced.
Vasquez said that in this time of se-
questration and tough choices, If you
want the services, use them.
We are under some very trying
times financially, he said. Sequestra-
tion has been real, and there have been
some significant impacts.
With the maintenance budget cut in
half, the grass is getting longer and
the trash isnt being taken out as often,
he said.
Moreover, the outlook for the up-
coming fiscal year isnt bright, and he
reminded the retirees that if services
and facilities werent being used
movie theaters, chapels and gyms
among them they might be closed.
Theres just not extra money in the
budget to keep them if theyre not be-
ing used, he explained.
Vasquez was followed by Michele
Zeno of Veterans Affairs, who dis-
cussed the importance of signing up
for VA benefits and services, and by
Hillary Perez-Godfrey of TRI-
CARE.
Retirees who were not able to attend
the meeting and who have questions
about Veterans Affairs or other ser-
vices can call the RAO at 982-1023 for
contact information.
